Excellent- More about The Commodification of Farm Animals
This book explores how advancements in veterinary science, philosophy, economics, and law converged during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to commodify farm animals. It covers two neglected areas: the importance of international veterinary conferences to domestic regimes and the influence of early global treaties on domestic quarantine measures. The author argues that society needs to reconsider the welfare paradigm in animal production systems, as it can be used to justify ethical principles.

This book delves into the intricate interplay between veterinary science, philosophy, economics, and law during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, ultimately leading to the commodification of farm animals. It explores two overlooked areas of study, namely the significance of international veterinary conferences in shaping domestic regimes and the impact of early global treaties on domestic quarantine measures. The author concludes by asserting that society must reassess its understanding and the role of the welfare paradigm in animal production systems. Currently, this paradigm serves as a convenient tool for justifying actions that undermine ethical principles.
The book's appeal extends to a diverse audience, including scholars, students, educators, individuals involved in animal production, interested parties, experts in animal welfare and animal rights, policy-makers, and regulators. It offers valuable insights and thought-provoking perspectives, making it an informative and indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics surrounding the treatment of farm animals.
