This book examines how the developments in veterinary science,
philosophy, economics and law converged during the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries to entrench farm animals along a
commodification pathway. It covers two neglected areas of study;
the importance of international veterinary conferences to domestic
regimes and the influence of early global treaties that dealt with
animal health on domestic quarantine measures. The author concludes
by arguing that society needs to reconsider its understanding and
the place of the welfare paradigm in animal production systems. As
it presently stands, this paradigm can be used to justify almost
any self-serving reason to abrogate ethical principles. The topic
of this book will appeal to a wide readership; not only scholars,
students and educators but also people involved in animal
production, interested parties and experts in the animal welfare
and animal rights sector, as well as policy-makers and regulators,
who will find this work informative and thought-provoking.
