Animal Suffering - The Ethics and Politics of Animal Lives

Detailní popis produktu

Drawing on philosophy, ethics, political theory, and animal studies, the book examines the moral implications of human relationships with animals in areas such as farming, research, entertainment, conservation, and companion animal care. It challenges readers to consider not only the suffering experienced by animals but also the social, political, and economic systems that shape their lives.

The author investigates concepts of pain, welfare, vulnerability, agency, and justice, encouraging a deeper understanding of the responsibilities humans have toward other species. Rather than focusing solely on individual acts of cruelty, the book addresses broader questions about how societies value animals and how ethical considerations can inform public policy and everyday practice.

Combining rigorous philosophical analysis with real-world examples, this thought-provoking volume is an essential resource for students, researchers, animal welfare professionals, and anyone interested in animal ethics, animal rights, and the complex relationship between humans and animals.
