Pain and Suffering in Farmed Animals by R Eddie Clutton
This unique reference covers a spectrum of livestock species, including those involved in food and fibre production and in research. The renowned team of authors addresses numerous aspects related to the care and use of these animals in a range of environments. In addition to a species-specific discussion of pain and suffering, important issues related to common husbandry procedures such as disbudding, castration, tail docking, and more are addressed.
Production animal pain has not yet been treated as a specific topic in a single book, with sentient animals ranging from crustaceans to mammals and everything in between. This volume demonstrates the extent to which the human species is currently dependent on farmed animals and their "managers." By highlighting the large number of animals affected, it shows how even modest improvements in pain management can have significant overall benefits, and thus encourages all who are in a position to recognize and make improvements to do so.
Clearly structured in four parts, this volume presents pain and suffering in farmed animals in a manner that will inform diverse and often conflicting "stakeholders," i.e., veterinarians, producers, consumers, animal welfare scientists, legislators as well as animal welfare advocacy, environmental and agricultural reform groups. The range of animal species covered and the detailed description of pain types will further engage biologists, biomedical research, and university teaching.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
