• Environmental challenge and animal agency. (2011, background): “Welfare is no longer viewed solely in terms of functional health and the absence of suffering, but also in terms of positive experiences or, generally, good ‘quality of life’ (McMillan, 2005).”
• The neurobiology of positive emotions. (2006, background): “Animal behaviorists (e.g. Marc Bekoff, Marian Dawkins, and Don Griffin) are increasingly accepting the likelihood that animals experience their lives, and that such issues are essential for discussing animal welfare issues (see McMillan, 2005 for a recent summary of such work).”
• Animal pleasure and its moral significance (2009, background): “…to kleptoparasitic, for example) because: dropcatches were performed more by younger birds, dropcatches were not necessarily made over a hard substrate, the behaviour was sometimes performed with non-food objects, and it occurred more often during warm, windy weather (Gamble and Cristol, 2002).”
• The 2020 Five Domains Model: Including Human–Animal Interactions in Assessments of Animal Welfare (2020, background): “It resulted in major science-based advances in understanding of animal welfare and its management (e.g., References [4,13,18–20,22–29]), advances which provided the foundations for the subsequent developments in thinking and ways of assessing welfare states, some of which are described below.”
