Regulation of Animal Care and Research? Animal Science, Welfare and Animal "Rights"1

Michael W. Fox2

Humane Society of the US, Washington, DC 20037

Abstract

Problems concerned with the general welfare and adaptability of farm animals to intensive/confinement systems, the need for a holistic approach in research design and development of new systems and the question of optimal environments and objective evaluation of the fitness of various species and strains are discussed. Suggested codes of practice and husbandry practices which need to be reevaluated in relation to the welfare of farm animals are detailed.
