This book provides an overview of the current debates about the nature and extent of our moral obligations to animals. Which, if any, uses of animals are morally wrong, which are morally permissible (i.e., not wrong) and why? What, if any, moral obligations do we, individually and as a society (and a global community), have towards animals and why? How should animals be treated? Why we will explore the most influential and most developed answers to these questions given by philosophers, scientists, and animal advocates and their critics to try to determine which positions are supported by the best moral reasons. KEYWORDS: Animals, Ethics, Animal Testing, Animal Rights, Animal Welfare, Bioethics and Medical Ethics, Ethics and Political Philosophy, Philosophy, Philosophy of Science
