An Introduction to Veterinary Medical Ethics helps students and practitioners resolve ethical questions by identifying situations objectively, then acting with personal resolve. This one-of-a-kind book by renowned philosopher and animal advocate Bernard E. Rollin explains the theory and methodology of making sound decisions about ethical matters commonly encountered by veterinarians and researchers.

The book, which is designed to make teaching veterinary medical ethics simple, presents 82 case studies of real situations that exemplify a variety of veterinary situations for which ethical decisions and actions were required. Each study is accompanied by questions and commentary that encourage consideration of divergent perspectives and resolution by personal decision.
