Description:
The paper contends that owning a pet is a responsibility that requires a commitment to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the animal throughout its lifetime. The paper discusses the rampant disregard for animal rights and suggests the requirement of licenses for all pet owners. The paper considers several difficult conceptual problems with this solution and concludes that, ultimately, when it comes to compassion and morality, education and moral cultural values will always be more important than enforcement through legislation and penal consequences.
