Welfare of Invertebrate Animals
«
“This volume brings a useful and sophisticated perspective on how the psychophysical wellbeing of invertebrates should be considered, managed and accomplished. When people think of animal welfare, mammals, maybe birds, spring to mind. We do not think of invertebrates, as we seldom consider they are deserving of welfare attention. This book tells us that we should.” (Enrico Alleva and Daniela Santucci, Animal Behaviour, Vol. 167, September, 2020)

This book is devoted to the welfare of invertebrates, which make up 99% of animal species on earth. Addressing animal welfare, we do not often think of invertebrates; in fact we seldom consider them to be deserving of welfare evaluation. Les mer

We have previously relegated invertebrates to the category 'things' and did not worry about their treatment. New research suggest that some invertebrates such as cephalopods and crustaceans can have pain and suffering, might also have consciousness and awareness. Also, good welfare is going to mean different things to spiders, bees, corals, etc. This book is taking animal welfare in a very different direction. Academics and students of animal welfare science, those who keep invertebrates for scientific research or in service to the goals of humans, as well as philosophers will find this work thought-provoking, instructive and informative.
