Why Animals Matter: The Case for Animal Protection offers a concise yet complete overview of the problems of animal suffering. Authors Erin E. Williams and Margo DeMello examine industries that exploit animals—factory farms, experimentation, entertainment, the pet industry, fur, and sport hunting. The authors consider the environmental and social justice effects of animal exploitation.
Highly informative yet reader-friendly, this book also includes positive, inspiring stories of rescued animals.
