Everyone has a view about animal ethics. Each of us, for example,
has an opinion about whether we should eat meat; whether animals
should be used for scientific research, or whether the use of
animals in sport is acceptable. But very few of us stop to wonder
about the basis of our views, or to rationalise them. In this book,
Madeleine Campbell aims to enable us to do so, by addressing a
series of 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?', and `Just
because we can, should we?'. Drawing on her experience as a
Veterinarian; a European Diplomate in Animal Welfare Science,
Ethics and Law; a researcher and teacher, the author takes ethical
argument beyond academia and applies it to the question which
currently dominates societal debate about human-animal
interactions: what (if anything) is a reasonable use of an animal?
Animals, Ethics, and Us offers a stripped back, balanced and
moderate perspective, based on logical argument, philosophical
principles and sound science. It is a thought-provoking read aimed
at a broad readership including informed owners and animal
enthusiasts, as well as useful a primer for students of animal
ethics, welfare and veterinary medicine.
