> ABOUT THE BOOK:
> Two-thirds of Americans polled by the Associated Press agree with the
> following statement: "An animal's right to live free of suffering should
be
> just as important as a person's right to live free of suffering." More
than
> 50 percent of Americans believe that it is wrong to kill animals to make
fur
> coats or to hunt them for sport.  But these same Americans eat hamburgers,
> take their children to circuses and rodeos, and use products developed
with
> animal testing.  How do we justify our inconsistency?
>
> In this easy-to-read introduction, animal rights advocate and law
professor
> Gary Francione looks at our conventional moral thinking about animals.
Using
> examples and analogies, he reveals the dramatic inconsistency between what
we
> say we believe about animals and how we actually treat them.
>
> Introduction to Animal Rights: Your Child or the Dog? provides a guidebook
to
> examining our social and personal ethical beliefs. It takes us through
> concepts of property and equal consideration to arrive at the basic
> contention of animal rights: that everyone -- human and nonhuman -- has
the
> right not to be treated as means to an end. Along the way, it illuminates
> concepts and theories that all of use but few of us understand -- the
nature
> of "rights" and "interests," for example, and the theories of Locke,
> Descartes, and Bentham.
>
> Filled with fascinating information and cogent arguments, this is a book
that
> you may love or hate, but that will not fail to inform, enlighten, and
> educate.
