The Costs and Benefits of Animal Experiments

A timely and valuable contribution to the debate surrounding the use of animals in research.

Andre Menache, Veterinary

HB £55.00 | 9780230243927

A comprehensive review of recent scientific evidence examining the contributions of animal experimentation to human healthcare.

Animals and Social Work: A Moral Introduction

Thomas Ryan

A pioneering contribution to the literature of social work ethics and moral philosophy.

Lucidly and cogently, this book argues why it is that animals ought to matter morally to social workers and engages in a sustained critique of the key moral principles that are deemed to underpin practice. It articulates an alternative moral principle that respects individuals irrespective of species membership. This principle informs a revised code of ethics, one which has profound theoretical and practical implications for social work and its practitioners.

Animals, Equality and Democracy

Siobhan O’Sullivan

A brave new perspective on the inequalities of our treatment of animals.

Clive Phillips, Professor of Animal Welfare, University of Queensland, Australia

A fresh view in which the debate on the status of animals is reinvigorated by shifting the emphasis from ethical debate to political debate. O’Sullivan examines the structure of animal protection legislation and finds that it is deeply inequitable, with a tendency to favour those animals the community is most likely to see and engage with.
