On facing different kinds of animal patients - reflecting veterinary ethical responsibility

扫码查看
Veterinarians are confronted with very different expectations regarding the treatment of animals which might cause moral distress since veterinarians could experience such differences as moral inconsistencies.The discourse of animal and veterinary ethics runs the risk of even exacerbating this problem, because the perspective is often mainly animal-centred tending to neglect the social embedding of veterinary practice. Bernard Rollin, a pioneer of veterinary ethics, contends that veterinarians should take on leadership in effecting ethical change. However, though veterinarians can certainly contribute to improving conditions for animals, their moral distress could be increased if they are not mindful of the social conditionality of their responsibility.
