Reviews / Votes
"We are very fortunate to have this anthology in its 3rd edition available for classroom use. The essays cover a wide range of topics that make it easy for teachers to devote a whole course (or a part of a course) to the topic of animal ethics. The selections are judicious and the introductions insightful. I especially like the blend of theoretical and practical concerns, a blend that makes perfect sense from a pedagogical point of view."Daniel Dombrowski, Seattle University, USA
