Is there an “animal welfare Kuznets curve”
Analysis of programs to reduce overpopulation of companion animals
Meat as a bad habit
The concepts of path dependence and lock-in have received growing acceptance but have generally been thought of as driven by positive feedback on the supply side of the economy. A case through example is made here of how endogenous preferences positive feedback in utility from consumption, social considerations, and institutional considerations can all lead to path dependence and the persistence of suboptimal consumption choices. The case here sp…
Process attributes of goods, ethical considerations and implications for animal products
Owners, guardians, and owner-guardians
A national study was conducted in the US examining pet caregivers who define themselves as either "owners," "guardians" or "owner-guardians." The purpose was to determine whether these groups differed in their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors with regard to companion animals. Random samplings of US households and clients of randomly selected veterinarians and animal clinics were surveyed about their attitudes and beliefs about their pets, their t…
Companion animal renters and pet-friendly housing in the US
A nationwide empirical study was conducted to determine the factors influencing the availability of pet-friendly rental housing throughout the US. Factors examined included an assessment of a variety of financial and economic factors, rental rates, deposits, turnover and damage histories, rental tendencies and trends, and the types and sources of concerns landlords have about allowing tenants to keep companion animals. The results of the study de…
Selective battering of the family pet
We examined the attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of both pet-abusing and non-pet-abusing perpetrators of family violence. Using data collected from victims residing at domestic violence shelters, results indicated that relative to their non-pet-abusing counterparts, pet-abusing batterers tend to less often show affection toward their pets, more often communicate with their pets only through commands and threats, more often view companion anim…
An Interactive Model of Human and Companion Animal Dynamics
The Actual and Potential Contribution of Economics to Animal Welfare Issues
Economics has an important, but largely unrealized, contribution to make to animal welfare issues. This is not surprising, because prevailing economic theory has a history of avoiding dif cult issues that may ruin elegant, yet unrealistic, theories. One mantra often heard among economists is that interpersonal comparisons cannot be made. Persky (2001) discusses this issue. An extra dollar spent on food is bene cial to a starving person, and an ex…
