Companion Animals in Zoonoses Research – Ethical Considerations
Non-human animals are commonly classified according to their “role”, such as “livestock”, “wild” or “companion” animals. But what if those classifications overlap?

| Résumé: | Non-human animals are commonly classified according to their “role”, such as “livestock”, “wild” or “companion” animals. But what if those classifications overlap? This article presents a report of the retreat week “ZooCan – Zoonoses of companion animals as case study for animal ethics” at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Germany, in November 2022. The workshop included participants from different European countries with interdisciplinary backgrounds (animal law, bioethics, epidemiology, philosophy, biology and veterinary medicine). We address ethically relevant issues that emerge when companion animals are used as research animals, particularly in zoonoses research. The outcomes of the multi-disciplinary approach are used to i) define criteria to classify “companion” and “research” animals, ii) provide guidance to overcome the challenges with classificational overlaps, iii) give insights into cutting-edge zoonoses research with an example of SARS-CoV-2 in cats, and iv) discuss animal ethics approaches with regard to classifications. |
