"Understanding Animal Welfare: The Science in its Cultural Context takes a completely fresh and thought-provoking approach. It is essential reading for anyone interested, studying or currently working in the fascinating field of animal welfare science. David Fraser places modern-day welfare issues within their historical framework by tracing the evolving ideas that led to current thinking. He also highlights some intriguing issues relating to the contradiction inherent in the term 'animal welfare science' and the practical problem of how to assess emotional states in animals." "Suitable for students of animal welfare science, veterinarians and others working in animal care professions, animal scientists, animal producers, as well as corporate and government workers involved in animal welfare."--BOOK JACKET.
