Summary
"The everyday operations of animal shelters and animal protection organizations involve a host of ethical decisions. The present volume is the outcome of a collaboration between a team of animal ethicists and representatives and employees of an animal shelter, the Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Montreal SPCA). The volume offers a set of recommendations on how animal shelters can respond to the difficult ethical questions they face, given the many constraints they must operate under. These recommendations are informed by a commitment to taking seriously the moral status of non-human animals. The volume also contains seven chapters that explore in more detail some of the ethical questions involved in everyday animal shelter operations"--
