There are many ongoing debates within and about the subject of
animal welfare. This book distils some of the major themes of
current debate into one volume, edited by internationally known
names in the field of animal welfare. Each chapter is written by
one or more leading experts who discuss, in an even-handed way, a
provocative topic that will be of interest to anyone concerned with
animal welfare. Issues covered include tail docking, farm animal
production, neutering of feral cats and the need to conserve
habitats of native wild animals in the face of threats from
non-native species. Chapters address the different values and
priorities involved in dealing with these issues, including
scientific and more explicit ethical approaches. Each chapter ends
with questions for discussion that may help readers to engage with
these dilemmas.
