Description

First published in 2004, this Routledge book by Stephen Bostock examines whether zoos and animal rights must truly conflict. The work analyses the complex ethical and technical issues surrounding animal captivity, including human cruelty, human domination over animals outside their natural habitat, and the distinctions between wild and domestic animals. Bostock explores misconceptions that commonly abound in debates about zoos, drawing on their long history to inform contemporary philosophical discussions. He presents a thought-provoking argument about the role zoos should occupy in the modern world, making this a timely and controversial work for anyone concerned with animal ethics and welfare.
