Tourism & animal suffering: Mapping the future

David A. Fennell and Bastian Thomsen

Annals of Tourism Research, 2021, vol. 91, issue C

Abstract: Research on animal ethics continues to escalate in tourism but does so in the absence of a comprehensive statement on animal suffering. This paper aims to rectify this deficiency through two broad aims. The first is to define suffering and related terms and provide a brief statement on the science of suffering; highlight issues related to the ethics of animal suffering; and provide a brief discussion on policy and suffering. The second aim is to develop a roadmap to eliminate animal suffering in tourism as a priority. The theoretical framework adopted in this paper rests within care ethics and empathy.
