Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Two-thirds of Americans polled by the Associated Press agree with the following statement: "An animal's right to live free of suffering should be just as important as a person's right to live free of suffering." More than 50 percent of Americans believe that it is wrong to kill animals to make fur coats or to hunt them for sport. But these same Americans eat hamburgers, take their children to circuses and rodeos, and use products developed with animal testing. How do we justify our inconsistency? In this easy-to-read introduction, animal rights advocate Gary Francione looks at our conventional moral thinking about animals. Using examples, analogies, and thought-experiments, he reveals the dramatic inconsistency between what we say we believe about animals and how we actually treat them. Introduction to Animal Rights: Your Child or the Dog? provides a guidebook to examining our social and personal ethical beliefs. It takes us through concepts of property and equal consideration to arrive at the basic contention of animal rights: that everyone human and non-human has the right not to be treated as a means to an end.Along the way, it illuminates concepts and theories that all of us use but few of us understand the nature of "rights" and "interests," for example, and the theories of Locke, Descartes, and Bentham.Filled with fascinating information and cogent arguments, this is a book that you may love or hate, but that will never fail to inform, enlighten, and educate. Author note: Gary L. Francione is Professor of Law and Nicholas de B. Katzenbach Scholar of Law and Philosophy at Rutgers University Law School, Newark. He is the author of Animals, Property, and the Law and Rain Without Thunder: The Ideology of the Animal Rights Movement (both Temple). Two-thirds of Americans polled by the "Associated Press" agree with the following statement: 'An animal's right to live free of suffering should be just as important as a person's right to live free of suffering.' This title is a guidebook to examining our social and personal ethical beliefs. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
