Contemporary and challenging, this thought-provoking book outlines a number of the key dilemmas in animal welfare today and tomorrow. The key issues range from the welfare of fur and fashion animals to debates around intensive farming versus sustainability and climate change, to animals in tourism, rodeos, races and fiestas. The human-animal welfare impact is explored, including human impact on marine mammals, fish, wildlife, companion and farm animals, together with our impact on zoo and laboratory animals. Animal Welfare in a Changing World gives: - Concise, highly readable summaries on the important issues in animal welfare by world experts and key opinion leaders - Opinions which are balanced with an evidence-based approach and are challenging - Color illustrations and links to videos to further illustrate the debates - A wide-ranging collection of case studies and descriptions of animal welfare topics which outline the dilemmas to anchor them in the real world This must-read book is essential for animal and veterinary scientists, ethologists, policy and opinion leaders, NGOs, conservation biologists and indeed anyone who feels passionately about the welfare of animals.
Data integrity is the quality, reliability, trustworthiness, and completeness of a data set, providing accuracy, consistency, and context. Data quality refers to the state of qualitative or quantitative pieces of information. Over five sections, this book discusses data integrity and data quality as well as their applications in various fields.
