[SR: 1470541], Paperback, [EAN: 9781844075898], Routledge, Routledge, Book, [PU: Routledge], Routledge, The determination of when, how, how often and with whom an animal breeds is moving rapidly away from evolutionary pressures and towards human purposes: these include the breeding of around 50 billion mammals and birds for food production annually, the breeding of pedigree dogs and cats, racing dogs and horses, specialised laboratory animal strains and the use of reproductive science to conserve endangered species or breeds and to limit unwanted populations of pests and non-native species. But the ethics and sustainability of this takeover of animals' reproductive lives have been insufficiently examined by either professionals or the public. This book discusses the methods, the motivations and the consequences of human intervention in animal breeding in terms of animal health, behaviour and well-being. It explores where we are now and the choices ahead, and looks to a future where we have more respect for animals as sentient beings and where we could loosen the reins of reproductive control., 277975, Animal Rights, 277972, Animal Sciences, 277912, Biological Sciences, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 922242, Geophysics, 278028, Earth Sciences & Geography, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 278115, Engineering & Technology, 278267, Aeronautics & Aerospace, 278271, Automotive, 278116, Bioengineering, 922268, Chemical, 278122, Civil Engineering, 922364, Education, 278150, Electrical, 278141, Electronics & Communications Engineering, 278180, Energy Technology, 922390, Engineering Physics, 922280, Engineering Skills & Design, 759164, Engineers & Inventors, 922298, Environmental, 278290, History of Engineering & Technology, 278258, Marine & Nautical, 278229, Mechanical & Materials Engineering, 922382, Military & Naval, 922344, Petroleum, Mining & Geological, 922314, Production, Manufacturing & Operational, 922260, Reference, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 922864, Applied Physics, 278409, Physics, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 564350, Geology, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 571024, Applied Physics, 564354, Physics, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books<

Human interaction with non-human animals is moving from management to absolute control. Animal breeding and reproductive technology are probably the most important ways that this control is exercised. The determination of when, how, how often and with whom an animal breeds has moved away from evolutionary pressures towards our own purposes: these include the breeding and use of around 50 billion mammals and birds for food production annually (excluding farmed fish), the breeding of pedigree dogs, cats, racing dogs and horses, specialized laboratory animal strains and the use of reproductive science to breed endangered species in zoos and to attempt to limit unwanted populations of pests and non-native species. The ethics and sustainability of this takeover of animals' reproductive lives has been rarely examined by either professionals or the public. This book discusses the methods, the motivations and the consequences of human intervention in animal breeding in terms of what we know about animal behavior and well-being. It sets out to challenge both our practice and our assumptions - those of society as a whole and the many professionals involved in the worldwide animal reproduction business. It explores where we are now and proposes a future where we have more respect for animals as sentient beings and have loosened the reins of reproductive control. Media > Book, [PU: Earthscan]<
