In this book, Keekok Lee asks the question, "what is an animal, and
how does our treatment of it within captivity affect its status as
a "being"?" This ontological treatment marks the first such
approach in looking at animals in captivity. Engaging with the
moral questions of zoo-keeping (is it morally justified to keep a
wild animal in captivity?) as well as the ontological (what is it
that we conserve in zoos after all? A wild animal or its shadow?),
Lee develops her own original hypothesis, centred around the
concept of "immuration"--defining this in contrast to
domestication--and thereby provides a unique addition to the
growing body of work on animal ethics.
