| Abstract
|
:
|
Most people would like to see farm animals leading happy, contented lives but farmers have to make a living in a changing and competitive world. Is it possible to improve the way we keep animals and not put farmers out of business? Does it have to be a choice between ethics and economics? Between animals and humans? This book puts forward the case that we can, if we want to, have it all viable farms, healthy safe food, and an improved environment, as well as better lives for our farm animals. -- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION.
