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.

This work has much to offer anyone interested in animal studies, human-animal interactions, or ethical/moral philosophy in general, as it examines many core ideas and notable philosophical positions...it should be read comparatively across a variety of philosophical frames or used as a reference to approach the core issues it takes up...Recommended. *S. M. Weiss, Choice. *
...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.
