  • The Animal Research Controversy: Protest, Process & Public Policy by Andrew N. Rowan, Franklin M. Loew, and Joan C. Weer

    The Animal Research Controversy: Protest, Process & Public Policy

    Andrew N. Rowan, Franklin M. Loew, and Joan C. Weer

    The controversy today regarding the use of animals in research appears on the surface to be a strongly polarized struggle between the scientific community and the animal protection movement. However, there is a wide range of opinions and philosophies on both sides. Mistrust between the factions has blossomed while communication has withered. Through the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s, the animal movement grew in numbers and financial resources, and developed much greater public recognition and political clout. The research community paid relatively little attention to the animal movement for much of this period but, alarmed by several public relations coups in the 1980s, it has become more vociferous and has shifted from a reactive defense to a proactive, aggressive offense.

  • The Place of Farm Animals in Humane Sustainable Agriculture by M. W. Fox

    The Place of Farm Animals in Humane Sustainable Agriculture

    M. W. Fox

    It is not yet widely recognized that the livestock industry has become a major threat to the world's economy, the environment, consumer health, and the food security of nations and generations to come. Farm animals do have a place in ecologically sound agriculture, but, as will be shown, they have not been properly integrated either in the United States or in other developed and less-developed nations of the world.

  • Advances in Animal Welfare Science 1984/85 by M. W. Fox and L. D. Mickley

    Advances in Animal Welfare Science 1984/85

    M. W. Fox and L. D. Mickley

    This book, the first in an annual series, written by academicians--scientists, philosopher and other--is not intended exclusively for animal welfarists and conservationists. Since it is written by scholars, it will appeal to a wide range of academic and professional readers who are involved with animals for scientific, economic, altruistic, and other reasons. While this first volume cannot cover the entire spectrum of animal welfare science-related topics, it does, in its diversity of contributions, demonstrate the multi-faceted and interdisciplinary nature of the subject of this new series.

    The Humane Society of the United States 1954-1979: Twenty-Five Years of Growth and Achievement

    Patrick B. Parkes and Jacques V. Sichel

    The HSUS came into being because, for several years previously. a great many people throughout the United States were aware of the tremendous need for a strong humane group that would actively endorse and work towards eliminating, on a national scale, some of the more obvious cruelties and injustices imposed on animals in slaughterhouses and by uncontrolled breeding of domestic pets. They also realized the necessity for a humane organization that would act in a missionary role. to encourage and assist in the formation of humane societies in the thousands of towns and areas where none existed.
