{"product_id":"the-commodification-of-farm-animals-sophie-riley-9783030858728","title":"The Commodification of Farm Animals","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines how the developments in veterinary science, philosophy, economics and law converged during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to entrench farm animals along a commodification pathway. It covers two neglected areas of study; the importance of international veterinary conferences to domestic regimes and the influence of early global treaties that dealt with animal health on domestic quarantine measures. The author concludes by arguing that society needs to reconsider its understanding and the place of the welfare paradigm in animal production systems. As it presently stands, this paradigm can be used to justify almost any self-serving reason to abrogate ethical principles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe topic of this book will appeal to a wide readership; not only scholars, students and educators but also people involved in animal production, interested parties and experts in the animal welfare and animal rights sector, as well as policy-makers and regulators, who will find this work informative and thought-provoking. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Riley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030858723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030858728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Sophie Riley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122032603391,"sku":"9783030858728","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0866d185-29ed-40fc-96eb-c422be2da423.jpg?v=1687422764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-commodification-of-farm-animals-sophie-riley-9783030858728","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
