Bridging the gap between the science of animal welfare and the animals and their owners, this book gives essential advice to practitioners worldwide on how to improve the welfare of all animals. Down to earth and intensely practical, the book describes the fundamentals of changing human behaviour to benefit animal welfare and how this can be applied in real life situations. This book contains:· voices from international experts and those working on the ground, on challenges presented and overcome;· advice on making change happen in practice, by influencing animal owners, users or communities, and the systems they are part of;· the work and life experience of animal welfare practitioners, as a profession;· essential information on how to translate the science of animal welfare and human behaviour change into real life for maximum impact;· resources to use from low-, middle- and high-income countries, e.g. case studies, influencing skills, best practice, hints and tips.This is an important text for animal welfare advisors, researchers, welfare auditors and veterinarians, and key reading for all those concerned with animal welfare in non-governmental organisations, in governments, in industry and at universities.

In the past couple of decades, Animal-Visitor Interactions (AVI), a type of Human-Animal Interaction (HAI), have become one of the major topics of interest for researchers working in zoos, especially in relation to animal welfare. This thought-provoking book summarizes the latest research concerning the impacts on HAIs in zoos, including the effects of visitors on animals and the effects of animals, exhibits, and the place itself on visitors. An invaluable resource for ethologists and animal behaviour and welfare students and practitioners, as well as social scientists and indeed anyone working with zoo animals.

"Introduction to Animal Behavior and Veterinary Behavioral Medicine provides a comprehensive introduction to animal behavior concepts. The basic initial chapters cover key foundation concepts, including the relevance of behavior in veterinary medicine, normal behavioral processes and social behavior, how animals learn, and how to read and interpret their body language and indicators of intent. Building off of these concepts the latter chapters introduce readers to the clinical approach to addressing abnormal and unwanted behaviors. Readers will gain an understanding of the motivations behind these behaviors, learn how to create definitive diagnoses, management, and treatment plans, and determine how and when to utilize pharmacological intervention. Book content aligns with professional training programs for veterinary medical students and provides a guide for learning as they progress to their clinical year and enter into the practice of veterinary medicine in all of the commonly treated species. Practicing veterinarians, particularly veterinarians treating multiple species, will find value in the clinical veterinary behavior content"--

"Equine behavior expert and trained ethologist Hélène Roche provides a practical, fair, and scientifically researched set of techniques to help train your horse or donkey to "cooperate for care." Specifically, her goal is to ensure that veterinary examinations, treatment administration, and health monitoring are safer, easier, and less stressful for all involved."--Amazon.

"In Avian reservoirs, Frederic Keck observes collaborations between microbiologists and birdwatchers working to preempt and contain bird flu pandemics. The threat of avian flu has increased attention to the human/bird boundary in these areas, and the cross-species relationship has been a focus for both virus hunters and public health officials. Keck divides their responses into preparedness and prevention, and describes that distinction by borrowing from an unexpected source -- the anthropology of hunter gathers. Bird watchers and biologists track birds and viruses to understand and anticipate their habits. Public Health officials aiming at prevention will readily order the killing of thousands of birds to wipe out a virus. Keck looks at how the response of each group varies between Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The differences in the local approaches reflect their differing relations to China, forming a kind of proxy for wider social and geopolitical views. The anticipatory practices of governments and scientists in response to pandemics show how human-animal relations continue to shape the way people imagine their futures on a global scale. The chapters are divided into two parts. Part I focuses on how pandemic precautionary measures developed out of museums and labs that study animal diseases. Chapter 1 examines how scientists seek out populations of infected animals, isolate a pathogen or virus, and monitor animals to prevent infectious disease or develop vaccines to prevent future outbreaks. Chapter 2 discusses virologist Ron Fouchier's research on the H5N1 virus that first broke out in Hong Kong in the late 1990s"--
