1980
Fox, M.W. (Institute for the Study of Animal Problems, Washington (USA))
The ethical and practical issues raised by the question of animal rights are explored. Problems concerning the general welfare and adaptability of farm animals to intensive/ confinement systems, the need for a holistic approach in research design and development of new systems, and the question of optimal environments and objective evaluation of the fitness of various species and strains are discussed. Suggested codes of practice and those husbandry practices which need to be re-evaluated in relation to the welfare of farm animals are detailed.
