What Animals Want: Expertise and Advocacy in Laboratory Animal Welfare Policy
Synopsis:
Offers a scholarly history of the evolution of animal welfare public policy, and brings a sociological perspective to this area of understanding. This book advocates animal rights and is intended for biomedical researchers and animal rights activists.
Description
Larry Carbone, a veterinarian who is in charge of the lab animal welfare assurance program at a major research university, presents this scholarly history of animal rights. Biomedical researchers, and the less fanatical among the animal rights activists will find this book reasonable, humane, and novel in its perspective. It brings a novel, sociological perspective to an area that has been addressed largely from a philosophical perspective, or from the entrenched positions of highly committed advocates of a particular position in the debate.
