Unlike other anthologies on animal ethics, which tend to cover a wide variety of topics but only devote a few articles to each topic, this volume focuses exclusively on the question of whether animals have moral rights and the practical import of such rights. The Moral Rights of Animals will be an indispensable resource for scholars, teachers, and students in the fields of animal ethics, applied ethics, ethical theory, and human-animal studies, as well as animal rights advocates and policy makers interested in improving the treatment of animals.
The fifteen authors of these essays honor Tom Regan with their appreciation of his ground-breaking ideas about animal rights, but also by advancing the debate about the moral status of animals in all sorts of surprising new directions. Consistently well-written, rigorous, and engaging, these essays represent the state-of-the-art in animal ethics. - Jean Kazez, author of Animalkind: What We Owe to Animals
