Description
Concern over the welfare of confined animals has increased rapidly in recent years and extends not only to farm and zoo animals, but also to laboratory and companion animals. One form of "undesirable" habit that has maintained public and scientific interest is so-called stereotypic behaviour patterns. This book provides a review of this subject and is aimed at students of applied ethology and related disciplines.
