Ethics are a large part of most conversations in animal welfare, and in this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with two philosophers who explored exactly that. Dr. Kristin Voigt, associate professor at McGill University, and Dr. Angie Pepper, lecturer at the University of Roehampton, are two of the philosophers who set out to understand animal shelters and how ethical decisions are made where time, space, and resources are limited, and the stakes are literally life and death. The fascinating book that came from this project is The Ethics of Animal Shelters, which they talk about in this episode.
