Zusammenfassung:
Ethical dilemmas and decision-making are a persistent feature of the everyday operations of animal shelters and animal protection organisations. These organisations frequently face difficult decisions about how to treat the animals in their care, decisions that are made all the more difficult by limited funding, material resources, and human labour. Moreover, animal protection organisations must also determine how to act within and toward the wider social and institutional environment in which non-human animals are routinely exploited. The first section of this book contains practical recommendations developed by ethicists in response to the ethical challenges identified by employees of the Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The second section offers philosophical analyses of the ethical challenges unique to animal shelters.
