ABOUT THE BOOK:
Now in its second edition, Animal Rights and Human Obligations is edited by
the two leading philosophers in the animal protection movement.  This
compelling volume provides the most comprehensive overview available of
historical and contemporary writings addressing both the nature of nonhuman
animals, as well as our duties to them.

More contemporary in focus, this Second Edition contains new theoretical
information and applied material in addition to historical selections from
Aristotle, Descartes, Aquinas, and Schweitzer.  This thought-provoking book
also features in-depth discussions of animal rights, factory farming, and the
use of animals in research.

* The Nature of Humans and Other Animals
* Equal Consideration for Other Animals
* Animal Rights
