Filling the Ark : Animal Welfare in Disasters Hardback
by Leslie Irvine
Part of the Animals and Ethics series
Hardback
Description
With a new Preface by the authorWhen disasters strike, people are not the only victims.
Hurricane Katrina raised public attention about how disasters affect dogs, cats, and other animals considered members of the human family.
In this short but powerful book, now available in paperback, noted sociologist Leslie Irvine goes beyond Katrina to examine how oil spills, fires, and other calamities affect various animal populations-on factory farms, in research facilities, and in the wild. In a new preface, Irvine surveys the state of animal welfare in disasters since the first edition.
Filling the Ark argues that humans cause most of the risks faced by animals and urges for better decisions about the treatment of animals in disasters.
Furthermore, it makes a broad appeal for the ethical necessity of better planning to keep animals out of jeopardy.
Irvine not only offers policy recommendations and practical advice for evacuating animals, she also makes a strong case for rethinking our use of animals, suggesting ways to create more secure conditions.
