Tourism and Animal Ethics - David A. Fennell - Bog

The book explores the rich history of animal ethics research that lies outside the field of tourism for the purpose of providing greater theoretical, empirical and conceptual guidance inside our field. The book examines historical and current practices in regards to the use of animals in the tourism industry from both in situ to ex situ consumption and production perspectives, identifying a range of ethical issues pertaining to such use. This detailed examination of current animal ethics theories will be instrumental in determining the rightness of wrongness of these practices, and hence to allow tourism practitioners and theorists to think about these issues and practices in a different light and minimizing the impact that the industry has on animals.
