Animals As Persons by Gary L. Francione

Essays on the Abolition of Animal Exploitation

This thought-provoking work delves into the ethical considerations surrounding the treatment of animals, challenging conventional views on animal rights. It argues for the recognition of animals as sentient beings deserving of moral consideration and legal protection. Through a series of essays, the book critiques the traditional animal welfare approach, advocating instead for a paradigm shift towards abolitionist animal rights, where animals are seen as individuals with inherent value rather than mere commodities or resources for human use.
