How do you advance science and assure animal welfare?* A humane and novel perspective on animal rights
DESCRIPTION:
Carbone a veterinarian who is in charge of the laboratory animal welfare assurance program at one of the major research universities provides a balanced and reasonable advocacy of animal rights. Looking at how to ethically and responsibly conduct biomedical and behavioural research that respects the rights and welfare of all subjects including animals. Biomedical researchers and the less fanatical of the animal rights activists will find this book reasonable, humane, and novel in its perspective. It offers a scholarly history of the evolution of animal welfare public policy, and brings a novel, sociological perspective to an area of understanding and values that has been addressed in the past mostly from a philosophical perspective, or from the entrenched positions of highly committed advocates of a particular position in the debate about animal rights.
