Abstract

'Animal Ethics Dilemma' is a freely available computer-supported learning tool which has been developed primarily for veterinary undergraduates but is applicable also to students in other fields of animal science. The objectives of the computer program are to promote students’ understanding of the ethics related to animal use, to illustrate ethical dilemmas that arise in animal use, to broaden students’ moral imagination, and to enable students to differentiate between types of ethical argument.
