Abstract:
"This book is a scholarly history of the evolution of animal welfare public policy, as well as one insider's autobiographical observations of how animals live and die in laboratories. For more than thirty years, protectionists and scientists have claimed to know the facts of animal welfare. Failure to account for this social dimension has left us with a polarized literature from animal liberationists and science advocates who talk past each other. Carbone helps us understand how we can better determine what animals in laboratories really want and should reasonably expect, and how we can help achieve a better balance."--BOOK JACKET.
