Extract

The application of welfare science to the study of both domestic and wild animals raises important ethical questions which the science itself cannot answer, and my purpose in the paper is to give a framework for answering these questions. I shall also try to evaluate the contribution that welfare science can make to difficult questions of wildlife management.
