Key Features
Covers animal ethics from an empirically informed perspective, bringing philosophy into conversation with key issues in animal science, conservation biology, economics, ethology, and legal studies, among other fields
Provides ample coverage of the most salient current topics, including, for example:
Debates about which animals are sentient
The suffering of wild animals
Research ethics
The boundaries of activism
Avoids suggesting that animal ethics is simply the practice of applying the right general theory to a problem, instead allowing readers to first work out the specific costs and benefits of making ethical decisions
Impresses upon the reader the need for her to work out for herself the best way forward with difficult ethical issues, suggesting that progress can indeed be made
Includes summaries and recommended readings at the end of each chapter
