Animal behavior and welfare is an increasingly complex area of
study, with the diversity of the animal kingdom ensuring there is
no one, easy answer. Instead, it requires us to take a holistic
approach combining scientific principles with both philosophical
and ethical considerations to develop all-inclusive policies and
legislation that decide how society should interact with domestic,
farm, and native animals. With a focus on domestic animals, but
with references to wild species to reinforce the arguments made,
this book: considers the concept of consciousness, how it can be
assessed, and how it relates to suffering and animal welfare more
widely; emphasizes the need to better understand how animals behave
both in relation to and outside of human influence, considering the
diversity of behavior and sensorial capacities across species;
includes author expertise across a wide range of animal species,
from primates to domestic farm animals, and across living
situations from intensive to free-ranging. We are far from having
all the answers, so this book also raises areas that require
further research and focus, such as the way animals are likely to
act based on recent and life-long experiences. Still, this review
of the topic, an updated translation of the French language work
Vivre parmi les animaux, mieux les comprendre, provides an
invaluable resource for anyone with an interest in animal behavior
and welfare.
