David DeGrazia

After a quick glance at attitudes to animals in various traditions around the world, the author goes on to discuss approaches in the modern Western tradition, focussing on moral philosophy and then applying the ideas to various practical matters such as animal husbandry, pets and zoos, and animal experimentation.

Interesting but mainly serves as an introduction to one perspective rather than the idea in general.

A VERY week ending - "welfarism" - is that what the animals were getting from bioethicists in 1996 (as many are getting NOW from scientists, bioethicists, and policy makers)?
