Review Quotes
Animal Ethics and Animal Law brilliantly explores the intersection of ethics and law in our treatment of nonhuman animals. Legal and ethical scholars examine historical moments that inform contemporary issues, discuss the moral status of animals and how such status is reflected in law, and analyze case studies that demonstrate the current failure of law to adequately protect the interests of nonhuman animals. A thoughtful and inspiring read!
