FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Animal law is a growing discipline, as is animal ethics. In this wide-ranging book, scholars from around the world address the intersections between the two. Specifically, this collection focuses on pressing moral issues and how law can protect animals from cruelty and abuse. A project of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, the book is edited by the Oxford Centre's directors, Andrew Linzey and Clair Linzey, and features contributions from many of its fellows. Divided into three sections, the work explores historical perspectives and ethical–legal issues such as "personhood" and "property" before focusing on five practical case studies. The volume introduces readers to the interweaving between these subjects and should act as a spur to further interdisciplinary work.

Review

Animal Ethics and Animal Law brilliantly explores the intersection of ethics and law in our treatment of nonhuman animals. Legal and ethical scholars examine historical moments that inform contemporary issues, discuss the moral status of animals and how such status is reflected in law, and analyze case studies that demonstrate the current failure of law to adequately protect the interests of nonhuman animals. A thoughtful and inspiring read! -- Joan Schaffner, The George Washington University Law School
