Using the latest scientific research on animal consciousness and emotions, Marian Stamp Dawkins argues that if animal welfare is to be taken seriously by world opinion, it needs a complete rethink. She asks important questions such as: are we justified in projecting human emotions on to animals? What can science tell us about their quality of life? She concludes that we need to place less emphasis on the conscious experience of suffering in animals, and more emphasis on the practical importance of animal welfare to human health and human well-being. This requires a long, hard look at some of the cherished ideas we hold about animal emotions, and what we can and cannot know about the conscious experiences of other animals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marian Stamp Dawkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199587825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199587827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 5.65w x 0.90d","brand":"Marian Stamp Dawkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579565883647,"sku":"9780199587827","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae9585fa-3eda-446b-8660-988455b7b9dc.jpg?v=1763875082","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-animals-matter-marian-stamp-dawkins-9780199587827","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
