大学动物福利联合会（UFAW）的春季期刊显示，它所处理的一系列主题似乎值得特别评论，因为其中一些主题可能被许多科学工作者认为是理所当然的，或者没有得到必要的关注。1961年9月30日，《自然》杂志转载了关于联合会组织的疼痛评估研讨会的文章，这篇文章与它自己的出版物和一篇基于EC Straiton在1961年夏季大会上发表的关于“农场动物之间不必要的残酷行为”的演讲的文章相吻合，这篇文章强调了许多人经常强调的问题。斯特雷顿的主题是，农场主经常或更经常地认为，动物对痛苦的反应比人类对痛苦的反应要小得多，而且，作为一个必然的结果，当它以关注个人福利的名义进行时，很少或根本没有反对施加残忍。这可以说是一条尖刻的条款，也许这种方法是适当的，以便强调许多经常采用的做法，其中许多做法受到某种制裁，因为它们已被接受了很长时间。他说，绝大多数工作的农场狗受到残酷对待，喂养不足，被绑在没有水的地方，经常被拴在短链上，没有适当的庇护。他在自己的经历中列举了许多愚蠢的例子，不熟练地使用巨大的力量试图让母牛生小牛，阉割农场动物的野蛮行为，以及其他做法。他对以下问题发表了强烈的个人意见：把偶蹄动物安置在有板条地板的住所里会带来的不适和更糟的情况;使用压碎组织的阉割工具;以及使用新方法饲养小牛作为小牛肉出售的方法，这些新方法旨在提供经济的农场实践，同时提供吸引零售采购者的小牛肉。
HE range of subjects dealt with by the Univer-sities Federation for Animal VVelfare, as shown by the Spring issue of the UFAW Courier, appears to be worth special comment in that some of them may be taken for granted by many scientific workers or given less than the necessary attention. A reprint from Nature, September 30, 1961, about the symposium on the assessment of pain organized by the Federation, is apposite in a publica-tion of its own and an article based on a lecture given by EC Straiton at its summer congress, 1961, on “Unnecessary Cruelties among Farm Animals”, which gives emphasis to matters that are constantly under-emphasized by many people. Straiton's theme is that farm people often, or more than often, assume too easily that the reactions of animals to pain are vastly less than might be guessed by comparison with those of human beings and that, as a corollary, there is little or no objection to the infliction of cruelty when it is done in the guise of attention to the welfare of the individual. This could be described as a cutting article, and, perhaps, this approach was suitable in order to give emphasis to many practices which are in constant operation, many of them receiving some sort of sanction in that they have been accepted for a very long time. He stated that the vast majority of working farm dogs are cruelly treated, inadequately fed, kept tied up with no water available, very often on a short chain and inadequately sheltered. He gave many instances in his experience of stupid, unskilled use of great force in attempts to calve cows, brutality in castrating farm animals, and other practices. He gave strong personal opinions about discomforts and worse from housing cloven-footed animals on accommodation with slatted floors, about the use of instruments for castrating by crushing the tissues, and about the methods of raising calves for marketing as veal by the use of the new methods designed to provide economical farm practice and at the same time veal of the type that appeals to the retail pur-chaser.
