| Description: |
This treatise questions the very underpinnings of society's assumptions regarding animal rights. Penetrating to the heart of this topical issue, the author discusses the equivocal bases of the rights of animals by focusing on the writings of pro-animal liberation advocates. |
| Synopsis: |
The Western world is currently gripped by an obsessive concern for the rights of animals - their uses and abuses. In this book, Leahy argues that this is a movement based upon a series of fundamental misconceptions about the basic nature of animals. This is a radical philosophical questioning of prevailing views on animal rights, which credit animals with a self-consciousness like ours. Leahy's conclusions have implications for issues such as bloodsports, meat eating and fur trading. |
