Gelesen von Jeffrey Allen Stumpf

(4,5 Sterne; 2 Bewertungen)

Published in 1892, this pioneering book presents early philosophical and ethical arguments for the compassionate treatment of animals and critiques prevailing attitudes of cruelty and exploitation. Henry Salt's insights laid the groundwork for the modern animal rights movement, inspiring generations of advocates and contributing to the growing awareness and understanding of animal welfare issues. This early treatise remains a significant and enduring contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding the moral considerations of human-animal relations. - Summary by Jeffrey Stumpf (3 hr 16 min)

the author effectively addresses a lot of arguments against animal rights that are still brought up today. In fact, most of the arguments against animal rights that we hear today are the same ones from over a century ago. This book is as relevant today as when it was written.
