It seems to matter for the animal whether it experiences pain or pleasure, or enjoyment or suffering. But does it also matter for the animal whether it lives or dies? Is a longer life better for an animal than a shorter life? If so, under what conditions is this so, and why is this the case? Is it better for an animal to live rather than never to be born at all? The Ethics of Killing Animals addresses these value-theoretical questions about animal life, death and welfare. It also discusses whether and how answers to these questions are relevant for our moral duties towards animals. Is killing animals ever morally acceptable and, if so, under what conditions? Do animals have moral rights, such as the right to life and should they be accorded legal rights? How should our moral duties towards animals inform our individual behavior and policy-making? This volume presents a collection of contributions from major thinkers in ethics and animal welfare, with a special focus on the moral evaluation of killing animals. 650 0 $a Animal welfare $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Animal rights $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 7 $a Animal rights $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809368 650 7 $a Animal welfare $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809443 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963485 650 7 $a Tiere. $0 (DE-588)4060087-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a ToÌtung. $0 (DE-588)4060336-2 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ethik. $0 (DE-588)4015602-3 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Tierrecht. $0 (DE-588)4998381-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Tierschutz. $0 (DE-588)4060131-6 $2 gnd 700 1 $a VisÌak, Tatjana, $d 1974- $e editor. 700 1 $a Garner, Robert, $d 1960- $e editor. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020014246.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728020525.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20170923010208.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203030525.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=176B1966013D11E6A7599896DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b DIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
