Veterinary medicine: general Books

Book SynopsisNo Way to Treat a Friend is an informative and readable exposé of Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine (CAVM). Written in an accessible style and illustrated with stories and cases from veterinary practice about real animals, this book is a counterweight to the mass of ‘pro’ literature in existence which uncritically promotes CAVM without consideration of whether or not it works or could even be harmful to our animal companions. The book takes a close look at how thinking can go wrong and how animals can appear to respond to treatment even when it is ineffective. Individual alternative practices are examined including homeopathy, acupuncture, raw diets and the anti-vaccination lobby and we find out if their claims stand up to scrutiny. With a thoroughly scientific line, it is not an attack on different belief systems, but a rigorous analysis of the facts, and a consideration of typical CAVM arguments, as well as a helpful explanation for people who may be unfamiliar with what the various therapies entail. Following on from the several successful books questioning the use of complementary therapies in human medicine such as Bad Science, No Way to Treat a Friend looks at their use in veterinary medicine. This is a valuable resource for veterinary practitioners as well as lay people who are interested in popular science, animal topics, animal welfare and medical matters.

Book SynopsisThis thought-provoking book explores the link between animals, people and their social and physical environments in relation to livestock farming, food safety, food security and sustainability. Providing an overview of livestock farming and animal related food production systems in a one welfare context, One Welfare: Animal Health and Welfare, Food Security and Sustainability begins by considering the interconnections of animals, humans and their environment. It then expands into the food production system, and considers the integration of positive welfare, stress, use of welfare indicators and the economic perspective. Written by a team of international experts, and with a foreword by Andrea Gavinelli, Head of the Animal Welfare Unit in the Health and Food Safety Directorate General of the European Commission, it connects theory with best practice examples and case studies from both organizations and individuals that have successfully implemented a one welfare approach.Essential reading for academics and practitioners who work within farming, food systems and international development, this ground-breaking text is also an important read for veterinary and animal welfare professionals.

Book SynopsisAnimal 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.

Book SynopsisIm gesellschaftlichen Kontext Württembergs zeichnet das vorliegende Buch exemplarisch für den deutschsprachigen Raum die Entstehung und organisatorische Entfaltung des Tierschutzes im langen 19. Jahrhundert nach. Ausgangspunkt ist die erste kontinentaleuropäische Tierschutzbewegung, die in Württemberg von 1837 bis 1840 in einem breiten öffentlichen Diskurs und organisiert in sechs Vereinen einen Tierschutzparagrafen durchsetzte, bevor sie wieder versandete. Warum gerade zu dieser Zeit ausgerechnet im wirtschaftlich zurückgebliebenen Württemberg der Übergang von tierethischer Reflexion zu zivilgesellschaftlichem Handeln gegen Tierquälerei stattfand, leitet die Studie aus Veränderungen der gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse und aus einer geistigen Atmosphäre ab, die gekennzeichnet war von romantischer Empfindsamkeit, Individualismus und Sittenstrenge, verschränkt mit aufgeklärter, sehr praktisch orientierter pietistischer Frömmigkeit.1862 gelang die Gründung eines dauerhafteren und landesweiten Vereins, dem in den 1890er Jahren noch zwei kleinere folgten: ein Frauenverein und ein Ableger der Antivisektionsbewegung. Das Buch stellt Praxis, Forderungen, tierrechtliche Ansätze, Zielgruppen und soziale Basis aller Vereine ausführlich vor und analysiert Motive und Netzwerke der Protagonist*innen. Dabei werden die Tiere, um die es ging, nicht vergessen: Basierend auf den Quellen der Vereine entfaltet die Studie ein plastisches Panorama der damaligen Lage der Tiere in der menschlichen Gesellschaft, die jeden romantisierenden Rückbezug auf diese Zeit vor der Massentierhaltung Lügen straft.Trade Review“... Das Buch ist mit fast 730 Seiten nicht nur ungewöhnlich umfangreich; es setzt durch die Fülle des ausgewerteten Materials, die Sorgfalt im Umgang mit den ausgewählten Quellen, die Vielschichtigkeit, Tiefe und Differenziertheit der Analyse und das Niveau der Argumentation und Reflexion für die Geschichtsschreibung der Tierschutz- und Tierrechtsbewegung neue Maßstäbe ...” (Renate Brucker, in: TIERethik, tierethik.net, Jg. 15, Heft 26, 2023)Table of ContentsTeil 1 Die erste deutsche Tierschutz- und Tierrechtsbewegung in WürttembergHistorischer Hintergrund 3Gesellschaft, Staat und Pietismus in Württemberg bis Ende der 1830er Jahre 4Der bäuerliche und kleinstädtische Pietismus und die Tiere 8Dann - ein früher Tierrechtler, Mahner und Aktivist 12Tiere treten an die Rampe: „Bitte der armen Thiere“ 1822 13Galerie württembergischer Tierschützerinnen und Tierschützer: Christian Adam Dann (1758–1837) 15Die Schaubühne des Grauens 18Die Bitte der Tiere 20Danns letzter Aufruf „in der Wüste der unbarmherzigen Welt“ 1832 21Eine neue Tonlage: Der Mensch - „ein Verderber der Erde, ein Tyrann der Thiere“ 22Aufruf zur Aktion 24„Um schändlichen Gewinns willen ...“ 25Dann und die Rechte der Tiere in der menschlichen Gesellschaft 28Die Grenzen des Notwendigen und des Vorstellbaren 28Das Recht auf Lebensgenuss 32Wo stehen die tierrechtlichen Ansätze Danns historisch? 32Zwei „feindliche Brüder“: Aufklärung und Pietismus 34Dann und der menschliche Fortschritt 35Exkurs: Die Sklavenwelt, die Tierwelt und die Emanzipation 36Fazit 39Europäischer Funkenflug der Ideen: Tierschutz liegt in der Luft 40Ein neues Verhältnis zur Natur und die deutsche Misere 41Individualismus, Empfindsamkeit und Sittenstrenge 43Fazit 46Die erste deutsche Tierschutz- und Tierrechtsbewegung in Württemberg 49Chronologie 51Galerie württembergischer Tierschützerinnen und Tierschützer: Albert Knapp (1798-1864) 57Erstes Ziel: Ein Gesetz gegen Tierquälerei 58Galerie württembergischer Tierschützerinnen und Tierschützer: Friedrich Theodor Vischer (1807-1887) 61Die Tiere und Menschen der ersten Tierschutzbewegung 64Ziele, Zielgruppen und Aktivitäten 68Begründungen, Einwände und aufscheinende Rechte 73Die Stagnation der ersten Tierrechts- und Tierschutzbewegung 78Württemberg als Geburtshelfer für weitere deutsche Tierschutzvereine 81Teil 2 Der Württembergische TierschutzvereinVereinslose Zwischenzeit 1840 - 1862 2Schwieriger Neustart – Vier Frauen, vier Männer 5Ziele und Zielgruppen 9Aktivitäten 12Aktive Mitglieder 12Prämierung von Polizisten 13Prämierung von „Pferdeknechten“ 16Galerie württembergischer Tierschützerinnen und Tierschützer: Theodor Plieninger (1795 – 1879) 18Galerie württembergischer Tierschützerinnen und Tierschützer: Wilhelm Graf Taubenheim (1805 - 1894) 22Publikationen 23Flugblätter und Plakate 23Bilder, Poesie und Gefühle 25Die „Vereinsschriften“ 27Das erste Vereinsblatt und die Tragödie des Theodor Plieninger 30Das zweite Vereinsblatt: "Der Tierfreund" 34Für Kinder und Jugendliche 36Eingaben, Petitionen und Mitarbeit im Reichsverband der Tierschutzvereine 39Vorträge und andere Aktivitäten 41Das Jubiläum und die Stuttgarter Versammlung des Reichsverbandes 43Galerie württembergischer Tierschützerinnen und Tierschützer: Friedrich Pfäfflin (1835-1910) 45Die Menschen des WüTV.
