Synopsis

Everyone has a view about animal ethics, but very few of us stop and wonder about the basis of our views

Animals, Ethics and Us: A Veterinary’s View of Human-Animal Interactions is a thought-provoking read aimed at a broad readership including informed owners and animal enthusiasts, as well as students of animal ethics, welfare and veterinary medicine.

What's covered:

  • A series of ethical questions – such as ‘When does animal use become abuse?’, ‘Why do we treat some animals differently from others?’, ‘Are there some things which we should never do to animals?’
  • Answers to the question which currently dominates societal debate about human-animal interactions – what (if anything) is a reasonable use of an animal?
  • A stripped back, balanced and moderate perspective – based on logical argument, philosophical principles and sound science
