Reviews

This handbook provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary discussion of current ethical questions regarding treatment of nonhuman animals. ... The handbook's greatest value is that it brings together, in one volume, the current standard moral imperatives from animal experts and scholars. The book is encyclopedic, but cost is bound to be problematic for some. (M. A. Betz, Choice, Vol. 56 (7), March, 2019) To show the complexity of trying to develop an ethical philosophy regarding the interrelationship of humans and nonhuman animals. It is to explore this difficult and very complicated subject that The Palgrave Handbook of Practical Animal Ethics is designed. ... The Palgrave Handbook of Practical Animal Ethics deserves to be on the shelves of every individual and every organization concerned with the way in which human beings and nonhuman beings relate to each other on the planet that we all share.
