About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Remarkably well-researched, philosophically reflective, and thought-provoking book … . The value of Haynes’s book lies in its superbly documented insistence that it is morally incumbent upon us to expropriate animal welfare from the narrow and self-serving definition widely disseminated by the animal science welfare community … . Richard Haynes has written a genuinely important book on the ethics of human/animal relations … ." (David Hoch, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 22, 2009)
“This valuable book serves two equally important purposes: it provides and intellectual history of the idea of ‘animal welfare’ and it also presents an ethical analysis of the uses and misuses of the term. … the book not only a complement and correction to the existing literature on human-animal relations but also an original and substantive addition to it.” (Anna Peterson, Agriculture and Human Values, Vol. 27, October, 2010)
