Animal welfare science has expanded substantially over the last few decades. Historically a fringe concern, the welfare of the animals in our care is now a key consideration for owners, agricultural industry workers and consumers alike. Sharing lessons learned from animal welfare and human psychological research for better results across the species divide isn't necessarily a new idea. But over the last twenty-five years, how have attitudes to welfare and mental disorders changed in human medicine and psychiatry, and in studies of farmed, companion, laboratory and wild animals? How have research methodologies developed? Essentially, where have we got to now? In this book, the world's first professor of animal welfare, Don Broom, reflects on shared insights of how all species can better cope with challenges, from stress to pain.

Prior to emigrating to Australia he lectured at the Universities of Cambridge (1995-2003) and Wales (1984-1995) in the United Kingdom. His research is concerned with many different animals: livestock during ship transport, dogs and cats in shelters, racehorses and zoo animals, and also with our ethical responsibilities towards animals. He is particularly interested in understanding and improving animal welfare in Asia and conducts regular workshops and research projects in China and nearby countries. In 2010 he established the on-line journal Animals, which is now one of the leading journals in the field. In 2009 his book The Welfare of Animals: The Silent Majority was shortlisted for an Australian Museum Eureka prize.
