对动物福利的关注正在成为西方社会伦理的一个重要组成部分。核心问题是在研究和食品生产中使用动物。反映新道德的法律在全世界范围内获得通过。罗林敦促美国的动物生产者和农业科学家在联邦立法强制解决这个问题之前，现在就解决动物福利问题。这本书探讨了作为主流社会现象的动物新社会伦理的起源和性质。罗林用通俗的语言和生动迷人的散文解释了世纪动物使用性质的变化如何导致了对一种伦理的需要，这种伦理远远超出了传统的社会伦理对动物“善良”和“残忍”的关注。具体的福利问题，在各种动物生产行业中出现的封闭，疼痛控制和动物福利依次讨论。罗林指出了肉牛、猪、奶牛、小牛犊和家禽畜牧业的研究问题。这本书提供了一个很好的介绍农业动物福利的哲学，伦理，社会和科学层面。
Concern for animal welfare is emerging as a major component of Western social ethics. The central issue is the use of animals in research and in food production. Laws reflecting the new ethic have been passed worldwide. Rollin urges animal producers and agricultural scientists in the USA to address animal welfare problems now, before federal legislation forces the issue. This book examines the origin and nature of the new social ethics for animals as a mainstream social phenomenon. In lay language and lively engaging prose, Rollin explains how changes in the nature of animal use in the 20th century have led to the need for an ethic that goes well beyond traditional social-ethical concerns about "kindness" and "cruelty" to animals. The specific welfare issues of close confinement, pain control and animal welfare that arise in various animal production industries are discussed in turn. Rollin identifies research problems in the beef cattle, swine, dairy cattle, veal calves, and poultry livestock industries. This book provides an excellent introduction to the philosophical, ethical, social and scientific dimensions of agriculture animal welfare.
