Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of animal rights, arguing that animals, just like humans, possess inherent rights to live their lives with a degree of freedom. The author positions this concept within a broader historical context, tracing the evolution of humanitarian thought from the early days of Buddhism and Pythagoreanism through the Enlightenment period, marking the shift from regarding animals as soulless beings to acknowledging their capacity for suffering and their fundamental right to a dignified existence. The book delves into the profound moral implications of treating animals as mere property, examining a range of issues including the exploitation of domestic animals for labor and food, the cruelties of hunting, and the practice of vivisection. It challenges the common justifications for mistreatment, exposing the hypocrisy behind the notion that humans have the right to exploit animals for their own benefit. The book argues that a truly humane society must recognize animal rights and strive to create a more just relationship between humans and the animal kingdom, ultimately advocating for a future where all beings are treated with compassion and respect.
