Veterinary and Animal Ethics
by Sandra Corr Martin Whiting Stephen May Christopher Wathes Steven MccullochThe first International Conference on Veterinary and Animal Ethics (ICVAE) held in September 2011 saw leading experts from across the world come together to discuss the most important issues of animal welfare in contemporary veterinary practice and research. <P><P>This is the extended proceedings of that conference, enabling all those interested in this increasingly significant subject to benefit from the insights of those discussions.
