Beyond Closed Doors: Science, Ethics and Politics of Farm Animal Welfare
$19.99
The video is about an hour long and features most of the major scientists and thinkers behind the animals rights and welfare movements. As another reviewer has stated, this is a fairly balanced treatment, not over the top or extremist in tone. However, some of the reviews might mislead you into thinking that this is a pro and con video on animal welfare and rights activism. Not so. This documentary comes down squarely in favor of animal sentience (the ability of animals to experience pain and suffering)and sides against big agribusiness and unfair legislation. The scholars do seem sympathetic to small farmers, but factory farming is precisely the target here. Now the documentary does mention improved laws and conditions in Europe, but the United States is treated less kindly. The experts interviewed speak very articulately and eloquently, especially Temple Grandin. Her interview alone is worth the purchase price.

Highly recommended!

Animal Law: Welfare, Interests, and Rights (Elective Series)
$52.00
I have used Professor Favre's animal law textbooks since the 1980s, and this edition, like its predecessors, presents, in clear and concise language, a comprehensive examination of animal law and its applications toward animal rights and welfare. Although the format is that of a law textbook, anyone interested in this subject will find the book easy to understand, informative, well-written, and stimulating. Prof. Favre's case selection is ideal for law students and paralegals learning the complexities of legal analysis as they apply to animal law. His "black letter" summaries of legal principles are explained clearly and carefully. Anyone interested in animal law, rights, and welfare would greatly benefit from reading this book.
