This textbook avoids moral lecturing and presents a range of ethical viewpoints without defending or applying any specific stance.

They will also gain further understanding of the views held by other people.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly chapters of this interdisciplinary book cover changes over time in our view of animals, the principles of animal ethics, and different views of what counts as a good animal life.
