Suffering is a state of mind that is difficult to measure and
analyse in human beings and considerably more so in animals. It is
related to the environment in which we live and our physical and
mental states. Understanding the physiology of suffering in animals
is crucial in assessing animal welfare.
Written by an expert in applied welfare aspects of physiology,
this book is the first to address the physiological aspects of
suffering in animals. It explores the different causes of suffering
- physical discomfort, thirst and hunger, the responses in the body
that lead to suffering and it offers insight into how suffering can
be managed.
