The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) is an internationally recognised, independent, scientific and educational animal welfare charity concerned with improving knowledge and understanding of animals' needs in order to promote high standards of welfare for farm, companion, laboratory, captive wild animals and those with which we interact in the wild. Klappentext Equine Welfare is a clear, dispassionate exploration of ethical and welfare concerns about human use of horses. Co-edited by a veterinary surgeon and a philosopher, and written by a similarly varied and distinguished team of contributors, the book addresses controversial and emotive issues surrounding these iconic creatures, providing a reliable source of information to support informed debate. Part 1 examines the fundamental nature of the horse, and the ethical basis for our concern with equine welfare. After a historical survey of equine-human interactions, there are individual chapters on health and disease, medicine, nutritional requirements, and a horse's psychological and social needs. Part 2 goes on to examine welfare issues in specific contexts of horse use (and abuse), including racing, hunting, eventing, load-carrying, and scientific research. Highly accessible and thought-provoking, this book will engage all those with an interest in horses and the enduring equine-human relationship. Zusammenfassung A rational exploration of the ethical and welfare issues in all areas of equine use.
