Article proposing an analytical tool that sites the impacts of public policy on animal welfare within the same framework as impacts on human welfare, the environment and the economy. This would enable the advantages and disadvantages of public policies to be expressed both globally and more accurately, and would make it possible to compare different impacts. To this end, the authors propose a method for monetizing animal welfare that expresses the intrinsic value of impacts on animal welfare in monetary terms.

Article following on from the FRCAW report on the slaughter of farmed fish. Ifremer reviews the capacity of fish to feel pain, their legal status, and appropriate slaughter methods.

Scientific study examining the trade-offs between environmental costs (land use, GHG emissions and use of antimicrobials) and animal welfare costs in pig farming systems. Despite the common view that trade-offs are unavoidable, the study suggests that a focus on reducing impacts within existing systems rather than changing farming type offers the best way to avoid these trade-offs and mitigate externality costs.
