The Ethics of Animal Shelters

This edited volume explores the ethical issues involved with work in animal shelters. In the first half of the book, the contributors, in consultation with animal shelter staff, explore the ethical dilemmas that often arise in animal shelter work. The second half of the book investigates those dilemmas more deeply and identifies the moral issues that underlie them. This project was developed in conjunction with the Montreal SPCA, and should appeal to those interested in animal ethics, in animal shelter work, and in normative ethics generally.
