Companion Animal Ethics Summary

Companion Animal Ethics by Peter Sandoe

Companion Animal Ethics explores the important ethical questions and problems that arise as a result of humans keeping animals as companions.

  • The first comprehensive book dedicated to ethical and welfare concerns surrounding companion animals
  • Scholarly but still written in an accessible and engaging style
  • Considers the idea of animal companionship and why it should matter ethically
  • Explores problems associated with animals sharing human lifestyles and homes, such as obesity, behavior issues, selective breeding, over-treatment, abandonment, euthanasia and environmental impacts
  • Offers insights into practical ways of improving ethical standards relating to animal companions

Companion Animal Ethics Reviews

This book provides ample food for thought for anyone involved in the animal sector to engage in reflection of their views by clearly working through important ethical questions commonly encountered in companion animal interaction and medicine in particular. It would make a valuable contribution to any practising veterinarian's library, and I would even suggest it to be essential reading for many. (Veterinary Record, 2016)
