Information Plus Animal Rights November 2003

Presents facts and statistics from the U.S. government and other sources on animal rights issues in America, covering the history of hunting and domestication, the animal rights debate, wildlife use and protection, farm animals, animals used in research, service, sports, and entertainment, and pets.

Regan provides the theoretical framework that grounds a responsible pro-animal rights perspective, and ultimately explores how asking moral questions about other animals can lead to a better understanding of ourselves.

Shows why the promotion and protection of animal rights is more critical than ever.

Cass Sunstein and Martha Nussbaum bring together an all-star cast of contributors to explore the legal and political issues that underlie the campaign for animal rights and the opposition to it. Addressing ethical questions about ownership, protection against unjustified suffering, and the ability of animals to make their own choices free from human control, the authors offer numerous different perspectives on animal rights and animal welfare. They show that whatever one's ultimate conclusions, the relationship between human beings and nonhuman animals is being fundamentally rethought. This book offers a state-of-the-art treatment of that rethinking.
