Description
A groundbreaking examination of humanity’s moral relationship with animals, this influential work challenges the assumption that species membership determines whose suffering matters. Drawing on the principle of equal consideration of interests, it exposes the ethical costs of factory farming and the use of animals in scientific research while questioning the everyday practices that make such harm seem acceptable. Clear, rigorous, and deeply provocative, the book explores speciesism, compassion, and moral responsibility, making a powerful case for extending ethical concern beyond the human species.
