Donald M. Broom, Considering animals’ feelings: Précis of Sentience and animal welfare (Broom 2014)

Abstract

Broom’s (2014) book is a well-researched and thoroughly written exploration and evaluation of the journey from the origins of animal welfare science to what we can say we now know and need to consider in relation to animal sentience and welfare. This book will help to counter any skepticism among academics and policy makers.
