Renowned authority Marian Stamp Dawkins' new work presents an
illuminating and urgent argument for the need to rethink animal
welfare. In the vein of Temple Grandin's work, Dawkins explains
that this welfare must be made to work in practice to have any
effect, and cannot be tinged by anthropomorphism and claims of
animal consciousness, which lack firm empirical evidence and are
often freighted with controversy and high emotions. Instead,
animal-welfare efforts must focus on science and on fully
appreciating the critical role animals play in human welfare. With
growing concern over such issues as climate change and food
shortages, how we treat those animals on which we depend for
survival needs to be put squarely on the public agenda. Dawkins
seeks to do this by offering a more complete understanding of how
animals help us. In the end, it is human self-interest that will
drive changes in our treatment of animals. Taking positions that
might surprise and will certainly challenge animal lovers, Dawkins
presents a persuasive argument for why animals truly matter.
