Reviews

Animal Property Rights is at once an intriguing theory and a well-written book. John Hadley anticipates his critics masterfully and gives scholars, animal advocates, environmentalists, and legal practitioners much to think about. If Animal Property Rights does not make you question your assumptions about human/nonhuman relations, nothing will. -- Siobhan O'Sullivan, University of New South Wales Animal Property Rights: A Theory of Habitat Rights for Wild Animals presents a novel theory about one of the most important topics in contemporary animal ethics, that of our obligations towards nonhuman animals living in the wild. Whether or not we agree with the view it defends, it raises important questions and shows why animal ethicists should pay more attention to this so far unaddressed topic. -- Oscar Horta, University of Santiago de Compostela

It deserves to be taken seriously by students, academics, campaigners and policymakers. -- Alasdair Cochrane, University of Sheffield Animal Property Rights: A Theory of Habitat Rights for Wild Animals presents a novel theory about one of the most important topics in contemporary animal ethics, that of our obligations towards nonhuman animals living in the wild.
