The article analyzes the key concepts of the study, including «bioethics», «bioethical principles», «bioethical rules», and «bioethical views of future veterinary students». Despite the fact that the concept of «bioethics» was introduced into scientific discourse as early as 1971, it is still insufficiently covered in domestic scientific literature. The analysis and interpretation of this concept allow it to be defined as a science that studies the moral foundations of human coexistence with all living beings, including animals. The study identifies the main bioethical principles in the context of the researched problem, such as: life as the highest value; love and care for all forms of life; justice; autonomy; responsibility towards nature; and humane treatment of animals. The article highlights the basic rules that a bioethical personality should follow (according to G. Hubenko), namely: 1) I recognize the need for urgent action in a world that is in crisis; 2) I accept the fact that the future survival and development of humanity largely depend on today's plans and actions; 3) I acknowledge the uniqueness of each individual; 4) I accept the inevitability of some human suffering; 5) I affirm my reverence for life. The analysis and generalization of the research results make it possible to define the concept of «Bioethical views of future veterinary students» as a system of knowledge about bioethical principles, rules, and values formed in students during their professional training, which expresses their attitude towards all living beings and will be implemented in future practice to resolve ethical dilemmas related to animal life and health
