  • Animal Ethics in Context

    by Clare Palmer ...
    It is widely agreed that because animals feel pain we should not make them suffer gratuitously.

  • Animal Ethics in the Wild

    Wild Animal Suffering and Intervention in Nature

    by Catia Faria ...
    Animals, like humans, suffer and die from natural causes. This is particularly true of animals living in the wild, given their high exposure to, and low capacity to cope with, harmful natural processes.
