Come fare rispettare i diritti degli animali dagli animali stessi ed in particolare dalla specie Homo Sapiens? In passato le religioni occidentali subordinavano gli animali all'uomo. Oggi sono numerosi i dibattitit etici che si occupano del rapporto uomo-animale. Si può ancora parlare di diritti degli animali? Scruton's book on animal cruelty is really a direct attack on utilitarian philosophy, which involves a passing critique of Peter Singer (prominent moral philosopher) which rests upon a strategically narrow reading of his work. Though punctuated with many sensible passages, Animal Rights and Wrongs spends far to much time in defence of many contentious issues (defending fox hunting for one example, which may or may not be a good idea) than seeking to offer a conservative critique of the likes of intensive factory farming practises, which would be a welcome change. There is only a short condemnation to be found here. Still, a concise and well-argued book, if a little frustrating. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
A revised and improved edition of a book in continuing demand. Do animals have rights? If not, do we have duties towards them? If so, what duties? These are myariad other issues are discussed in this brilliantly argued book, published in association with the leading think-tank Demos. Why are animal-rights groups so keen to protect the rights of badgers and foxes but not of rats mice or even humans? How can we bridge the growing gap between rural producers and urban consumers? Why is raising animals for fur more heinous than raising them for their meat? Are we as human beings driving other species either to extinction or to a state of dependency? This paperback edition is fully updated with new chapters on the livestoick crisis, fishing and BSE and a layman's guide introduction to philosophical concepts, the book presents a radical respponse to the defenders of animal rights and a challenge to those who think that because they are kind to their pets, they are therefore good news for animals.
