Toxicology and New Social Ethics for Animals

Bernard E. Rollin

University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, 240 Willard O. Eddy Hall, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523-1781, bernard.rollin{at}colostate.edu

The issue of animal treatment has emerged as a major social concern over the past three decades. This ramified in a new ethic for animal treatment that goes beyond concern about cruelty and attempts to eliminate animal pain and suffering, whatever its source. This is evidenced by laws governing animal research in many countries. Insofar as toxicology can entail significant and prolonged animal suffering, it is at loggerheads with this new ethic. Ways are suggested for the toxicological community to put itself in harmony with the ethic and thereby preserve its autonomy.

Key Words: Animal welfare • animal rights • new social ethic for animals • toxicology.
