Thirty-two Comisana lambs were divided into four groups of eight animals: ER (ewe reared), AR (artificially reared) and the corresponding gentled groups ERG and ARG. The provision of human contacts...

8. Feeling food: the rationality of perception

   | Contributor(s):: Beekman, V.

   Regulatory bodies tend to treat people's emotional responses towards foods as a nuisance for rational opinion-formation and decision-making. This position is thought to be supported by such evidence as: (1) people showing negative emotional responses to the idea of eating meat products from...

11. Vegetarian meat: could technology save animals and satisfy meat eaters?

    | Contributor(s):: Hopkins, P. D., Dacey, A.

    Between people who unabashedly support eating meat and those who adopt moral vegetarianism, lie a number of people who are uncomfortably carnivorous and vaguely wish they could be vegetarians. Opposing animal suffering in principle, they can ignore it in practice, relying on the visual disconnect...

12. You are what you eat: meat, novel protein foods, and consumptive freedom

    | Contributor(s):: Beekman, V.

    Animal husbandry has been accused of maltreating animals, polluting the environment, and so on. These accusations were thought to be answered when the Dutch research program "Sustainable Technological Development" (STD) suggested a government-initiated conversion from meat to novel...

    | Contributor(s):: de Weerd, H. A. van, Day, J. E. L.

14. The relationship between beliefs, attitudes and observed behaviours of abattoir personnel in the pig industry

    | Contributor(s):: Coleman, G. J., McGregor, M., Hemsworth, P. H., Boyce, J., Dowling, S.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of attitudes in the prediction...
