  1. You Can't Betray a Fish: One Reason Eating Fish May Cause Less Harm Than Eating Cows.Ronald G. Oldfield - 2022 - Journal of Animal Ethics 12 (1):51-58.
    In The Ultimate Betrayal: Is There Happy Meat?, Bohanec (2013) proposed that farmed animals raised humanely may experience betrayal when slaughtered. I argue based on personal experience that humans often betray trust relationships with farmed animals.

    Much controversy has surrounded the use of animals in research. Empirically, much of the research has focused on how ethical individuals believe animal research to be, but it has not systematically examined the specific beliefs or reasons why individuals do or do not believe animal research to be ethical.
