Praise for the 2nd Edition:
"The book widely informs the changes in animal welfare at the beginning of the third millennium, including its deeper scientific knowledge, and its fertile application in concrete varied living conditions, in a multicultural world with different ways of life. It is a valuable addition to the thesaurus of books about animal welfare. It is not only a concise source of information, but also an appeal call. Full advantage should be taken of it." - Antonin Holub, Agricultura Tropica et Subtropica Vol. 44 (4) 2011
