Animal Welfare
eBook
(Independence Educational Publishers May 15, 2009)
Eight out of ten people believe that animal welfare is a key priority for a civilised society, according to RSPCA figures. However, there is much debate over issues such as the fur trade, intensive farming, hunting with dogs and the use of animals in scientific and medical research experiments. Is it acceptable for animals to suffer if it will benefit humans? This book looks at the ethical issues surrounding the rights and welfare needs of animals. The information comes from a variety of sources, including government reports and statistics, newspapers and magazine articles, surveys and polls, academic research and literature from charities and lobby groups; articles have been tailored to an 11 to 14 age group. Additionally, at the end of each chapter are two pages of activities relating to the articles and issues raised in that chapter.
