Animal Welfare: A Contemporary Understanding Demands A Contemporary Approach To Behavior And Training, E. Anne Mcbride, David J. Montgomery

Contemporary understanding of One Welfare highlights the intrinsic link between animal and human welfare and ethics, regarding physical and psychological well-being as equally important. These principles apply to all animals we keep, regardless of why we keep them. One factor influencing psychological welfare is how animals are prepared for their life, including how they are taught (trained) to behave. Where such preparation is lacking or inappropriate methods are used, animals will be fearful and/or frustrated, resulting in impaired welfare, problematic behavior, and potential injury to humans and other animals. How animals are trained and by whom are the focus of …

Optimal Enforcement Of Uniform Pollution Standards When Marginal Pollution Damage Costs Differ Among Firms—The Epa’S New Cafo Rules, Robert S. Main, Peter Z. Grossman Mar 2017

Optimal Enforcement Of Uniform Pollution Standards When Marginal Pollution Damage Costs Differ Among Firms—The Epa’S New Cafo Rules, Robert S. Main, Peter Z. Grossman

Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences

The EPA’s 2003 and 2008 National Pollution Discharge Elimination System for Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) expanded the scope and stringency of the regulation of CAFOs but provided few if any additional enforcement resources.

Because the likely damages from effluents vary greatly among CAFOs, depending on location, a system of emission fees that depend on likely damages would be more efficient. Alternatively, regulators could tailor enforcement efforts to probable damages. This paper provides a …
