Jessica Pierce (born October 21, 1965) is an American bioethicist, philosopher, and writer. Early in her career, her research primarily addressed ethical questions about healthcare and the environment. Since the 2000s, however, much of her work has focused on animal ethics, including questions about the ethics of pet-keeping; dog-human relationships; and morality in animals. She has published thirteen books, including multiple collaborations with the ecologist Marc Bekoff. After working in various American universities from 1993 to 2006, she became an independent scholar, focussing on research and writing.
