The Human Use of Animals reports the facts about some of the most
compelling and difficult issues about animal welfare that confront
society today. Fully revised and with four new chapters, the 16
case studies in the present volume explore a variety of
controversies about the human uses of animals that have emerged
over the last 40 years or so. The book begins with a lengthy
exploration of applicable ethical theory. It then presents the
facts of the 16 cases, followed in each case by analysis of
pertinent theoretical and practical ethical issues. This volume
offers a discussion of controversies within a range of contexts
that includes biomedical, behavioural, and wildlife research,
cosmetic safety testing, education, entertainment (zoos and
circuses), the food industry, commerce, companion animals and
animal uses in religious practices.
This is the first book of case studies on animal ethics. It deals with important social controversies involving the human use of animals and analyses the moral issues involved. An excellent introduction to ethical theory provides a framework to the 16 original case studies, which include the use of animals in research, testing, and education, as food, as companion animals, and in religious rites.
