DESCRIPTION:Animal welfare is at heart a science of the individual.  The p
 ropensity of individuals to suffer is central to our understanding and qua
 ntification of welfare issues.  However\, the scales of the systems studie
 d in animal welfare science can be wildly different – from individual do
 gs presenting with behavioural problems at a clinic\, to problems across a
 n entire species\, breed\, or line that can add up to billions of animals 
 worldwide.  How can and should we take these issues of scale into account?
  What issues do we encounter when we project up from one to a million\, an
 d what do we miss by doing so?  In this talk\, I will discuss the dual phi
 losophy of individuals in groups\, the issues and benefits of a multi-scal
 e perspective in animal welfare.
