Resumen
Descripción
Commercial livestock producers tend to
view animal advocacy as restrictions on their
right to provide income for their families. Animal
advocates argue that animal well being
has a public value which is at least as important
as the pursuit of private profit. The public
policy issue is where to draw the line between
animal well being, the pursuit of private profit,
and the cost of regulation to consumers. The
likely policy outcome is increased regulation
of the well being of commercial livestock, but
the regulations will have only limited economic
effect on livestock producers.
