Abstract: Farmers and laboratory scientists are increasingly aware of growing consumer concerns about animal welfare. These trends represent, at least in part, an emerging belief that animals have legitimate personal concerns - what might be called 'animal interests'. Historically, however, economics has had little to say about the interests of animals. Glenn Boyle ponders how this might be remedied, and the implications of doing so.
