'This new book by Jacky Turner shakes the foundations of animal breeding on the grounds that too often it brings consequences that are unforeseen, unjustified, or just plain unfair. Her case is built on a persuasive mixture of compassion, good writing and hard evidence. It needed to be said, it is said well and it concerns us all.'

This book should appeal to a broad audience of informed members of the public, welfare scientists, animal industrialists, and others associated with animal management.' Professor Clive Phillips, Foundation Chair of Animal Welfare, School of Veterinary Science, University of Queensland, Australia'This important book looks at some of the most urgent animal welfare issues facing global animal production over the coming decades.'
