Abstract:
Agricultural animal welfare is a very controversial issue, and although it can generate lively discussion in the classroom, it is often avoided, minimized in significance or presented from a biased viewpoint. People on both sides of the controversy are misinformed or incompletely informed about animal production management and/or animal welfare concerns. Very few animal science instructors are unbiased about the animal welfare issue, or are adequately educated in philosophical principles underlying the study of animal welfare and rights. Likewise, very few philosophers or professional animal protectionists are unbiased about the animal welfare issue, or are adequately educated in animal science or agricultural animal production business and management.
