Ethical aspects of re-homing companion animals: results of a Companion Animal Welfare Council inquiry
No full textIn 2008 CAWC surveyed six leading UK re-homing organisations. This revealed an upward trend of cat and dog admissions over the past three years. Between 2007 and 2008, the RSPCA reported a 57% overall rise in animals relinquished to them, from 7,347 to 11,586; a 33% increase for dogs and 50% for cats (Elliott, 2009). Cats Protection reported to CAWC a 77% increase in cats relinquished between January-April 2008 compared to January – April 2007. The survey aimed to investigate the organisations’ policies and ethical principles regarding: • assessment and selection of suitable animals for re-homing• preparation of the animals for re-homing• assessment of prospective new homes and owners• advice given to prospective owners• knowledge and communication skills of the organisational staff• follow up procedures after re-homing.The ethical aspects of the re-homing policies are addressed. Re-homing decisions were based on a combination of practical inquiries and ethical criteria. Most organisations require that potential owners will not only provide good homes, but will also care about the animals. Assessments of prospective owners were in terms of well established ethical principles or commonsense intuitions. However, value judgements in the re-homing process will not only relate to perceptions of the animal’s welfare; but extend to notions of integrity and dignity. Further, moral assessment will extend to prospective owners, their families and network of social connexions. The ethical objective of re-homing organizations is to provide a ‘permanent, caring and loving home’. This is inescapably connected to the pursuit of information and knowledge about the well being of the animal; that the potential love of animals must be linked to informed caring about them. Thus it would seem the ethical standpoint of re-homing organisations is that of ‘care ethics’, rather than the utilitarian position commonly associated with animal welfare science.Elliott, Valerie, 2008, ‘RSPCA says pets are falling prey to a throwaway society’, The Times, 28th April. <br/
