The animal rights movement in America

Lawrence Finsen

The book has three main parts: first, authors describe the history of the animal rights movement in the U.S.,organizations working on behalf of animals and their opposition, as well as some prominent campaigns they have used; second they consider prominent philosophical underpinnings of that movement and some of the controversies surrounding them; and finally they discuss some issue the movement faced in 1994 if it was to advance the cause of animals.
