Ethics of Killing Animals

While it is generally accepted that animal welfare matters morally, it is less clear how to morally evaluate the ending of an animal's life. 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.

Reviews

...serves as a wonderful introduction to the topic and contribution to the literature... Overall, this volume has a remarkably consistent high quality for an edited collection, as well as several genuinely standout pieces...I highly recommend this book for research as well as teaching. I would go so far as to call it essential for people working on animal ethics.
