His public lectures challenged scientists and animal protectionists to think about ethical issues:
- Is there a clear distinction between animal welfare science and the ethical discussions about what is right and wrong in our dealings with animals?
- Does it matter how animal welfare is defined?
- What are the ethical assumptions affecting the study of animal welfare?
- Why do these assumptions vary depending on whether we’re talking about farm animals or companion animals?
- How can researchers present results in a way that makes their ethical assumptions transparent?
