The essential text on understanding and improving animal welfare

Understanding Animal Welfare, 2^nd Edition is revised and expanded to incorporate new research and developments in animal welfare. Updated with greater accessibility in mind, the reader is guided through animal welfare in its cultural and historical context, methods of study, and applications in practice and policy. Drawing examples from farm, companion, laboratory and zoo animals, the text provides an up-to-date overview of research and its applications, while also tracing how concepts and methods have evolved over time.

Readers of the second edition of Understanding Animal Welfare will also find:

New developments in understanding positive animal states
The importance of human actions in determining animal welfare
New content on “One Welfare”
How free-living wild animals are affected by human technology and climate change

Originally intended for scientists and professionals, Understanding Animal Welfare has also found a home in undergraduate classrooms. It is now the essential text for students, practitioners, veterinarians, and researchers in animal welfare and related fields.
