Abstract

‘Zoo-ethics’is a subset of bioethics,and zoology may be looked upon as a subset of ecology...that is how the review of Survival at Stake, by Poorva Joshipura, falls well and truly within the scope of this journal.There is also an interesting link between this one and another review of a book steeped in science, published recently by this author. Survival at Stake, on the other hand, primarily, has a moral, ethical, and practical force embedded within the scientific. This is understandable when one notes that Joshipura is an animal welfare activist associated with the NGO, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and committed to the cause espoused by it.
