Peter J. Lis pathbreaking new book, Animal Welfare in China, is
timely and valuable. ANTHROZOOESThe issue of animal welfare has
attracted attention in Australia in recent decades. Activists and
welfare organisations have become increasingly vigorous in
promoting a new ethical relationship between humans and animals,
and in challenging practices they identify as inhumane. In 2011
this agitation culminated in the temporary suspension of cattle
live exports, with significant economic and political implications
for Australia. Similar campaigns have focused on domestic food
production systems and the use of animals in entertainment.Despite
this increased interest, the policy process remains poorly
understood. Animal Welfare in Australia is the first Australian
book to examine the topic in a systematic manner. Without taking a
specific ethical position, Peter John Chen draws on a wide range of
sources including activists, industry representatives and policy
makers to explain how policy is made and implemented. He explores
the history of animal welfare in Australia, examines public opinion
and media coverage of key issues, and comprehensively maps the
policy domain. He shows how diverse social, ethical and economic
interests interact to produce a complex and unpredictable
climate.Animal Welfare in Australia will be of interest to scholars
and practitioners of public policy, those interested in issues of
animal welfare, and anyone wishing to understand how competing
interests interact in the contemporary Australian policy
landscape.Some supplementary graphs and images can be found at
