Bearing Witness

Ruth Harrison and British Farm Animal Welfare (19202000)

More about the book

Focusing on the life and impact of Ruth Harrison, this biography delves into her pivotal role in animal welfare activism, particularly following the publication of her influential book, Animal Machines. It examines her Quaker upbringing and the ethical debates surrounding post-war Britain, revealing how her moderate approach shaped relationships with scientists and affected the landscape of animal politics. The book highlights the evolution of animal welfare science and legislation over 46 years, while critiquing the marketization of welfare issues that diverged from broader social improvement goals.
