Description and Table of Contents
Description
An in-depth look at the social issues involved with animal rights, including scientific experimentation and animal harvesting, as well as the ongoing debate between animal rights activists and the scientific community.
Animal Rights raises both the moral and practical questions inherent in the issue and examines how societies have reacted to animal testing in the past. Author Clifford Sherry discusses the philosophical basis of animal rights, presents the pros and cons of their use for research, reviews the issues surrounding animal rights, including experimentation and animal harvesting, and presents the history of the issue, significant federal legislation, and arguments of activists on both sides of the debate.
Each volume is well organized and written in language that is easy to understand. Subsequent sections include biographical sketches of individuals who have helped shape modern attitudes toward experimentation; legal documents, laws, and U.S. federal legislation; a detailed listing of organizations and government agencies; and bibliographies of selected print and nonprint resources.
* Includes a section on federal laws dealing with the protection of animals, and a summary of animal rights litigation
* Provides a comprehensive list of print and nonprint materials including electronic bulletin boards, online databases, and videos as well as a list of organizations complete with address, phone number, and publications
