Veterinarians disagree over ethics of factory farming

Center faculty member and co-director of the Master of Science in Bioethics Capstone Program, Lisa Moses, VMD, was quoted in a Vox article on the ethics of factory farming. The article explores veterinarians' involvement in ethically fraught factory farming practices. Moses attributes some of that involvement to excessive workloads: "Veterinarians are stretched way, way, way too thin, and are almost always inevitably overwhelmed with work," she said. "And that does not allow you to have the mental space to ask big-picture questions. You're just trying to figure out how to get through terrible situations as best as you can."
