Abstract

Animals are ever more present in our lives. Over the last forty to fifty years human-animal relationship has changed dramatically increasing the need for a substantial revision of its ethical and legislative foundations. In particular, the growing number of pet animals present in our lives is engendering a new conscience of their needs and suffering. Such awareness also extends to livestock and to those animals used for research purposes and a growing body of ethological data, particularly in the field of animal cognition, are offering new insights for a prolific discussion on ethics and animal rights. The authors are Gabriele Bono, Professor of Physiology and Veterinary Ethology and Barbara de Mori, Professor of Veterinary Bioethics at the University of Padova. The authors approach the topic from their different and complementary perspectives: a more scientific standpoint based on the first author’s deep knowledge of animal physiology and behavior, and a more historical approach, that reveals the profound competence of Barbara de Mori in presenting a critical analysis of the ethical issues implicated in our relationship with animals.
