THE ETHICS OF ANIMAL LABOR - JOCELYNE PORCHER G...

This book argues for a moral consideration of animal work relations. Paying special attention
to the livestock industry  the author challenges the zootechnical denigration of animals for
increased productivity awhile championing the collaborative nature of work. For Porcher  work
is not merely a means to production but a means of living together unity. This unique
reconsideration of work envisions animals as co-laborers with humans  rather than overwrought
tools for exploitative  and often lethal  employment. Readers will learn about the disjunction
between those focused on productivity and profit and those who favor a more ethical work
environment for animals. Porcher's text also engages environmental and political debates
concerning animal-human relations.
