Description
This powerful work argues that animals are not merely objects of human concern but sentient beings entitled to justice and the opportunity to flourish according to their distinctive forms of life. Drawing on the capabilities approach, it examines animal agency, suffering, emotion, freedom, and the diverse needs of species ranging from domesticated animals to wildlife. The book moves from philosophical foundations to practical questions of law, public policy, and personal responsibility, offering a framework for transforming the ways humans treat other creatures. Both an ethical challenge and a constructive call to action, it invites readers to reconsider humanity’s obligations to the animal world.
