Beskrivning
Long-distance transport of farm animals is a growing component of the global animal trade. Written by a trusted expert in the area, Clive Phillips, this book stems from his research on live export from Australia to Asia. It focuses on the animal welfare implications of long-distance transport by ship, road, rail and air. It includes a collection of commentaries which describe Australia's experiences of live export, ultimately leading to the sheep trade being banned from 2028. Each commentary is accompanied by a narrative explaining the significance of the piece and its historical relevance to the debate about the live export industry. The book also discusses a range of related issues from an animal welfare perspective: the growing role of big industry in livestock farming, attempts in the USA to legislate against exposés of cruelty in the livestock industries, ethical issues surrounding livestock researchers and their support from the industry, and concerns about growing meat consumption worldwide. Revealing and engaging, this collection provides a very readable overview of potential problems in the trade of farm animals.

Mer om författaren

Clive J C Phillips (Author, Series Edited By) Professor Clive Phillips studied agriculture at undergraduate level and obtained a PhD in dairy cattle nutrition and behaviour from the University of Glasgow in 1983. He then lectured in farm animal production and medicine at the Universities of Wales and Cambridge, conducting research into cattle and sheep nutrition and welfare. In 2003 he became the inaugural holder of Australia's first Chair in Animal Welfare, at the University of Queensland, and established the Centre for Animal Welfare and Ethics. He is involved in the development and implementation of State and Federal government welfare policies and has published over 400 articles on animal nutrition, welfare and management in scientific journals and has authored or edited 13 books and over 50 book chapters. He also edits a book series for Springer on the welfare of animals and CABI's Animal Behaviour and Welfare Cases. As Australia's first professor of animal welfare, Prof. Phillips devoted his time to developing animal welfare and ethics research and teaching, with a focus on good nutrition. Prior to emigrating to Australia he lectured at the Universities of Cambridge (1995-2003) and Wales (1984-1995) in the United Kingdom. His research is concerned with many different animals: livestock during ship transport, dogs and cats in shelters, racehorses and zoo animals, and also with our ethical responsibilities towards animals. He is particularly interested in understanding and improving animal welfare in Asia and conducts regular workshops and research projects in China and nearby countries. In 2010 he established the on-line journal Animals, which is now one of the leading journals in the field. In 2009 his book The Welfare of Animals: The Silent Majority was shortlisted for an Australian Museum Eureka prize. In 2012 he received the Australian Museum Eureka Award for Scientific Research that contributes to Animal Protection. He currently chairs both the Queensland and Western Australian Governments' Animal Welfare Advisory Boards and previously chaired the UK's Agriculture Ministry Bovine Tuberculosis husbandry review panel. He was the Independent Member of the UK's Milk Development Council and Member of the UK Government's Select Committee to review the zinc-cadmium sulphide dispersion tests conducted by the Ministry of Defence during the Cold War.
