What should a vet do when a client can't pay for their animal's
treatment? Or when asked their opinion on the killing of wildlife
for disease control? Or when observing an animal welfare problem
whilst off duty?Ethical problems are an everyday part of life for
veterinarians but it can be difficult to combine personal values
with professional conduct. Veterinary Ethics presents a range of
ethical scenarios that veterinarians and other allied animal health
professionals may face in practice. The scenarios discussed are not
only exceptional cases with potentially significant consequences,
but often less dramatic everyday situations.The responses to these
ethical problems are from practising veterinarians and acknowledged
world experts in animal welfare and ethics. The advice given is
thorough and detailed, covering different eventualities, the
ethical knots and dilemmas, the personal feelings of those involved
as well as objective recommendations on ethical decision making
and, where relevant, guidance from veterinary governing bodies and
the law. The advice is framed in the form of veterinary life in the
real world, not necessarily an ideal world.As well as practical
guidance the book takes a step back and explores the different
philosophical arguments and standpoints and the resultant solutions
and problems of each approach, examining the background and
relationship between different philosophical schools of thought,
ethics and veterinary care. The book strives to present decision
making in response to ethical problems as transparently as
possible, employing a range of ethical frameworks.The book also
challenges the reader about their own decision making in given
situations, what factors to consider and how they would achieve
certain outcomes.
