"A new book about numerous aspects of animal welfare merits
worldwide attention. –Psychology Today, 2022. Globally, non-human
animals – aka animals – need all the help they can get in an
increasingly human-dominated world. The Routledge Handbook of
Animal Welfare comprehensively reviews the welfare of animals in
the wide array of settings in which they are used, including
emerging issues such as the impacts of intensive farming and the
wildlife trade on climate change, biodiversity loss, and
antimicrobial resistance and pandemics. A most valuable source of
up-to-date information for a global audience."
Marc Bekoff PhD, University of Colorado, USA"Human activity is
responsible for serious welfare problems for billions of non-human
animals. Identifying the action required to address these issues
and securing public support for it demands good evidence, wise
reflection, and clear argumentation. This book provides all three
and is an essential resource for anyone concerned about animal
welfare."
Prof. David L Clough MA (Cantab), MSt (Oxon), PhD (Yale), FHEA,
University of Aberdeen, UK"A defining text in the field of animal
welfare. Challenging, insightful, and current, this book covers a
diversity of subject areas in the rapidly evolving arena of animal
welfare. Both informative and balanced, the chapters explore and
test our moral perceptions towards animals from a legal, cultural,
and ethical perspective. In a time of changing attitudes with so
many global issues at the forefront of society, this book provides
a welcome and much needed contribution to conceptualisation of
animal welfare in the modern day."
Prof. Luke Gamble BVSc, DVM&S, FRCVS, Chief Executive –
Worldwide Veterinary Service, UK"The Routledge Handbook of Animal
Welfare is the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of animal
welfare issues in all settings in which they are used – or misused.
It provides compelling scientific evidence as to why the welfare of
animals is important for the sake of millions of sentient beings,
and also for our own health. Everyone concerned with the well-being
of animals – students and professors, NGO staffers, and legislators
– should read and own this book."
Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder – The Jane Goodall Institute & UN
Messenger of Peace"This textbook combines both classical and new
topics in the rapidly growing discipline of animal welfare. It
integrates important neighboring fields, such as animal ethics and
animal law. It considers changes in human-animal interaction, and
is an invaluable guide for navigating this rapidly changing
terrain. The book demonstrates animal welfare science’s growing
importance for social decision-making and pushes the field forward
in a number of important fronts."
Univ.-Prof. Dr Herwig Grimm, Ethics and Human-Animal Studies,
Messerli Research Institute, Veterinary University Vienna, Medical
University Vienna, University Vienna, Austria"Finally, there is a
comprehensive, evidence-based animal welfare text that doesn’t shy
away from examining the hard questions about how humans use
animals, and how the Anthropocene impacts animals. Edited by
luminaries, and with a range of expert contributing authors, this
text is essential reading for anyone whose study or work relates to
animal welfare."
Dr Jennifer Hood BSc Hons, BVMS, PhD, Veterinary Director Animals
Australia and Adjunct Senior Lecturer Murdoch Veterinary School,
Australia"We are at a critical point in human history. Central to
the health, climate, and ecological crises is the way we treat
other animals and their habitats. This book brings to the forefront
the true impact of animal exploitation in all its forms. I hope the
book will persuade many that we can live a kinder, more
compassionate life on this planet in harmony with all life
forms."
Shireen Kassam MD, PhD, Visiting Professor of Plant-Based
Nutrition. University of Winchester, UK"This book on animal welfare
is unique in challenging the notion that animals are resources for
humans. Kudos to the editors for such an ambitious and ethically
oriented book. This book is essential reading for students, and
anyone interested in animal welfare and innovative means to improve
it. Highly recommended!"
Barry Kipperman DVM, DACVIM, MSc, DACAW, Veterinary Specialist in
Animal Welfare and Instructor of Veterinary Ethics at the
University of California at Davis, USA"Animal welfare law and
policy constitute a field of growing importance in society, and in
the teaching of law, public ethics, politics and veterinary
science. The Routledge Handbook of Animal Welfare distils the
knowledge and experience of 50 authors, into a comprehensive and
rigorous summary of key animal law and welfare issues around the
globe. It is a magisterial exposition of the neglectful past; the
contemporary awakening; and the future enlightenment concerning our
relationship to other animals. This book makes a signal
contribution to the fields of animal law and welfare."
The Hon. Michael Kirby AC, CMG, Former Justice of the High Court of
Australia. Editor-In-Chief of The Laws of Australia"This impressive
book folds science with vision on the ethics of animal use and how
things need to change. Covering animal welfare and its
interdependencies with human health and environmental impact in an
accessible way, it is a handbook in the true sense of the word: an
authoritative volume that I’ll certainly be keeping close to
hand."
Prof. Philip Lymbery, Global CEO, Compassion in World Farming
International"A uniquely broad collection that describes the varied
(and generally harmful) impacts that humans have on other animals,
whether by farming them for food or simply encroaching into their
wild habitats. Readers will welcome the truly international
perspective. A tour de force by a stellar group of animal welfare
scientists, experts in animal law and ethics, veterinarians, and
animal advocates. Anyone who cares about animals will find this
book a comprehensive resource and will be encouraged and inspired
by the final section showing how change can be achieved."
Christine Nicol MA, DPhil, Professor of Animal Welfare, Royal
Veterinary College, UK"We are witnessing a revolution in how humans
view and treat other animals, necessitating a fresh look at the
human/non-human animal relationship. The editors of the Routledge
Handbook of Animal Welfare have assembled experts from various
fields, bringing scientific and historical perspectives that are
helpful to deepen our understanding of animal protection in the
21st century. This book is a welcome and important contribution to
animal welfare literature."
Joyce Tischler JD, Professor of Practice, Animal Law, Center for
Animal Law Studies at Lewis & Clark Law School"Provides the
scientific case for the multiple (human and non-human) co-benefits
of abolishing the economic exploitation of other animals."
Dr Richard Twine, PhD, Co-Director of the Centre for Human–Animal
Studies, Edge Hill University, UK"A comprehensive book covering a
wide range of important animal welfare issues by fantastic
contributors. The inclusion of one welfare topics as well as
chapters on animal ethics and law and also social change makes this
a brilliant resource. I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone
that has an interest in animal welfare and thank all of the
wonderful people that made this happen."Dr Arnja Dale, Chief
Scientific Officer, SPCA"This information-dense book, edited by two
academics and an expert in law, was designed as a “comprehensive
exploration of the rapidly growing fields of animal welfare and
law”. It packs a huge amount of information and a wide range of
topics into its 507 pages written by 50 authors, many of whom are
established authorities."David Fraser, Animals 2023"The Routledge
Handbook of Animal Welfare fills a gap in the existing animal
welfare literature, and with a few exceptions does it well."Anna S
Olsson, Laboratory Animal Science, i3S, University of Porto
