This collection offers an impressive and timely range of perspectives on both historical and contemporary instances of animal abuse and exploitation, and the contexts within which that harm is perpetrated, such as the laboratory, the factory farm, the circus, and the less frequently challenged zoo.

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.
