Description

Book Synopsis
a rational examination of the politics and economics of animal welfare builds on the scientific and philosophical work done to date written with the non-welfare specialist in mind.

Trade Review
"The earnest tone, completeness of the spectrum of animal uses discussed, and the simplicity and clarity of the prose and drawings all make this volume a good one to recommend to people who work with animals and need a quick primer in welfare. And readers who often encounter such animal workers might want to get a few extra copies to hand out."
