| Summary | | Summary: The treatment and welfare of animals is an ongoing and contentious debate driven by legal and ethical questions arising over the way in which humans exploit animals for a range of uses. This book explores the ethical distinctions between animal rights and animal welfare, which includes the debated concepts of sentience and `speciesism'. A variety of views are presented in the debate over the way in which humans use and exploit animals for clothing, food (e.g. factory farming, live exports), scientific research, entertainment, sport and companionship.
