Re-thinking the ethics of intensification for animal agriculture: comments on David Fraser, animal welfare and the intensification of animal production
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research
In a recent essay published in the prestigious series of readings in ethics issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations David Fraser discusses the relationship between animal welfare and modern, intensive animal production. His main view is that it is possible to uphold a decent level of animal welfare within intensive animal production and that the best way to promote animal welfare is to reform rather than reject intensive animal production.
