ISAZ 2006 BA RCELONA!

ISAZ 2006 Barcelona, Spain 5th-6th October 2006 The Importance of Attitudes, Values, and Economics on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals

The selected topic of the meeting will be “The importance of attitudes, values, and economics on the welfare and conservation of animals.” This will be covered in two sessions (morning and afternoon) on the first day. The second day will be devoted to free papers. The AGM of ISAZ will be held on the second day. The meeting will be held in the World Trade Centre Barcelona (www.wtcbarcelona.com)

Animal welfare and conservation have become important issues worldwide. Differences still exist, however, on how they are perceived, both between and within countries. This is due, among other things, to differences in attitudes and values. For example, the subjective feeling that moral and religious codes are followed may be an important part of human welfare. The question is whether animal welfare and conservation are at all part of these codes. A related issue is whether raising the awareness of animal welfare problems has a positive effect on people’s attitudes towards human suffering.

Attitudes towards animal welfare are also affected by the economic impact of animal welfare and conservation regulations and practices, and perhaps by the economic development of each country or social group.

The relationship between attitudes/values and the welfare/conservation of animals, as well as the interplay between economy and animal welfare and conservation will be addressed with regard to companion, laboratory, farm and wild animals.

The following lists of books, contributions to books, journal issues of interest, journal articles and websites are but a fraction of recent output from scholars and practitioners. As for date of publication, this column has attempted to list items no earlier than 1999, or, more specifically, items not included in the bibliographic journal Humans & Other Species. As for inclusion, it is what I have run across in a variety of ways, some by planned database searches and some by serendipity. If you would like to recommend something for inclusion, send me a note at the following address. 340 Killdeer Court, Lincoln CA 95648-2474 USA; email: [email protected]
