Ebook-Leseprobe (PDF)

An interesting and accessible introduction to ethical issues raised
by various forms of human use of animals. This textbook avoids
moral lecturing and presents a range of ethical viewpoints without
defending or applying any specific stance. Readers are encouraged
and provoked to reflect for themselves, and to sharpen their own
points of view regarding the ethical limits on our use of animals.
They will also gain further understanding of the views held by
other people.

Early chapters of this interdisciplinary book cover changes over
time in our view of animals, the principles of animal ethics, and
different views of what counts as a good animal life. Later
chapters apply the conceptual tools to specific issues including:
food animal production, advanced veterinary treatment of pets,
control of infectious diseases, wildlife management, as well as the
use of animals in research.

Specifically designed for students of veterinary medicine,
animal science, welfare and behaviour, and veterinary nursing. Also
of interest to those wanting to combine an up-to-date,
science-based account of animal issues with clear-headed moral
reflection.

"The book covers an impressive range of topics with accuracy and
fairness. Despite its ambitious scope, the authors have achieved
remarkable unity in the book, and have produced a book that is easy
and pleasant to read. Their work will surely provide a major tool
for rationalizing the debate about the ethics of animal use, and I
commend them for their invaluable contribution." From the Foreword
by Professor Bernard Rollin, Colorado State University.

Peter Sandøe is trained as a philosopher and is currently professor of bioethics at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Stine B. Christiansen is a DVM and MSc in applied animal behaviour and welfare and is currently doing her Ph.D. at the University of Copenhagen. Both authors have engaged in interdisciplinary research on animal ethics for a number of years. They have advised politicians on animal issues and contributed to the public debate. In addition, they have been involved in setting up and teaching a compulsory course in animal ethics for veterinary students at the University of Copenhagen.

"This book is succinct and an easy read, providing clear
discussions of ethical philosophy without moralizing and
emphasizing any particular viewpoint. ... The book is highly
recommended." (Journal of the American Association for
Laboratory Animal Science, September 2009)

"This short book is a useful introduction to the issues
regarding animal use and to the concepts and theories used in
informed discussions about ethically appropriate uses. The authors
adopt a 'pluralist approach,' to present 'the arguments
dispassionately, and in a fair and balanced way' ... .Well
researched and presents a wealth of Information." (Agriculture
