Animal behaviour and, as a result, animal welfare are increasingly
complex areas of study, with the diversity of the animal kingdom
and new research findings ensuring there is no one, easy answer.
Instead, we need 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, while also referring to wild
species to reinforce the arguments, this book: * promotes direct
observation for those who claim to be interested in animals, their
behaviour, and their welfare. * 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
understand better how animals behave both with humans and outside
of human influence, considering the diversity of behaviour and
sensorial capacities across species. * includes author knowledge
and expertise across a wide range of animal species, from primates
to farm animals, and across animal living situations from intensive
to free ranging. We are far from having all the answers, so this
book also raises questions that require further research and focus,
such as the way animals are likely to act based on their recent and
whole-of-life experiences. Still, this review of the topic, an
updated translation of the French language work Vivre parmi les
animaux, mieux les comprendre, is an invaluable resource for
everyone with an interest in animal behaviour and welfare.
