Animal Welfare in Australia is the first book to systematically examine how animal welfare policies are made and implemented in Australia.
Peter John Chen is a senior lecturer in politics and public policy at the University of Sydney.
‘Hugely informative book is an excellent analysis of the factors
that have influenced these changes, from the perspective of a
political scientist who has, in the course of his research,
developed a deep understanding of the animal protection movement
... Being able to view events from a range of perspectives
inevitably leads to better decision-making, and this book provides
an excellent means for those involved in animal welfare policy to
do just that.’
*Animal Welfare*
‘[The book's] approach provides a unique glimpse into both the
ministerial decision-making process as well as opinions from within
the animal industry - perspectives that are rarely canvased
thoroughly in animal welfare texts.’
*Journal of Animal Ethics*
‘Peter Chen’s book is the first of its kind, and a riveting read
for anyone who is interested, intrigued, perplexed or passionate
about animal welfare.’
*The Hobart Mercury*
'This book contributes to the development of a theoretical context
of the politics of truth about our relationship with non-human
animals by encouraging a deeper level of reflection on the way in
which our fragmented policy framework is established and
administered. It is not written from an ‘activist’ perspective, as
are most publications in this genre.'
*Alternative Law Journal*
