About this episode
The episode discusses the U.K. Government's Animal Welfare Strategy and its implications for improving animal lives.
A radical plan to improve the lives of animals, or empty promises that are bound to fail? We consider the U.K. Government's recently published Animal Welfare Strategy, which acknowledges the moral dimension of our relationship with other animals, and the ways in which it seeks to address current shortcomings.
