The thesis of this book is that members of what I shall call the “animal welfare science community,”3 which includes both scientists and philosophers, have illegitimately appropriated the concept of animal welfare by claiming to have given a scientific account of it that is more objectively valid than the more sentimental” account given by animal liberationists.
