EBook For The Ethics of Animal Shelters 1st Edition By Valéry Giroux, Kristin Voigt, Angie Pepper

The Ethics of Animal Shelters looks at the tough decisions animal shelters and protection groups face every day. These choices are often hard because of limited money, supplies, and staff. Shelters must decide how best to care for the animals while also dealing with a world where animals are often treated unfairly.

The first part of the book shares practical advice from experts based on real problems faced by the Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). These problems include how shelters are run, how they interact with the public, how they deal with other organizations like farms or government groups, and how they care for stray animals.

The second part of the book explores deeper ethical questions. Topics include decisions about ending an animal’s life, what shelter animals should eat, medical treatments, adoption rules, and how shelters can help change how people think about and treat animals. This book provides valuable insights for anyone interested in animal care and ethics.
