Скачать или смотреть Heather Browning (LSE): “Assessing Measures of Animal Welfare”

#LSEChoiceGroup​​​ | 20 October 2021

Abstract: There are many decision contexts in which we require accurate information on animal welfare, but many of the methods currently used for estimating welfare are subjective and unreliable. Here, I look at how we might apply principled methods from animal welfare science to arrive at more accurate scores, which will then help us in making the best decisions for animals. I construct and apply a framework of desiderata for welfare measures, to assess the best of the currently available methods and argue that a combined use of both a whole-animal measure and a combination measurement framework for assessing welfare will give us the most accurate answers to guide our action.

Heather Browning is a a postdoctoral Research Officer in animal sentience and welfare at LSE, as part of the Foundations of Animal Sentience project.
