Abstract:
An overview and critical discussion of Christine Overall's Pets and People: The Ethics of Our Relationships With Companion Animals (Oxford University Press, 2017). Argues that the book contains important contributions to many of the major ethical issues associated with the keeping of "pets" but is lacking in discussion of the most fundamental issue—namely, whether it is ethical to keep "pets" at all.
