Whilst human treatment of animals has long been a subject of considerable debate within the ethics literature, it is only in more recent years that scholars in business have examined ethical issues around the tourism and food industries, innovation, business education, animal rights and business failure, posthumanism, art, work involving animals, multispecies space, animal protection work, and stakeholder theory. Such interest is to be welcomed. Nevertheless, the interest that business scholars have shown in animals remains piecemeal, and often seems unaware of non-Western or indigenous perspectives. Additionally, ongoing technological developments that have the potential to radically transform the moral demarcations we make between humans and animals have hitherto received limited attention. Such transformations could slow down, or potentially reverse, the exponential increase in human domination over animals that has been evidenced over the past two centuries, and could significantly impact producers who still depend on traditional ways of animal production.
