Animal Rights Philosophical Encyclopeida

Animal Rights Encyclopedia

"What is this encyclopedia about?
This encyclopedia is an introduction to the scope of animal rights. Entries consist of core ideas of moral theories and principles, animal-human problems, ideas and background reading to assimilate quickly and easily. Relevant cross-references are in red. You can read topics in greater detail by looking them up on the Web.

However, do not expect quick and unequivocal answers to problematic questions about animal rights. As Mark Bekoff says:
"For many questions about how animals should be treated by humans there are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers. However, there are better and worse answers."
Animal Passions and Beastly Virtues. 2006:227.
