Overview

In the 1970s, people thought only cranks or sentimentalists could be seriously concerned about the treatment of non-human animals. However, since then philosophers, scientists and welfarists have raised public awareness of the issue; and they have begun to lay the foundations for a change in human practice. This book is a record of the development of ""animal rights"" through the eyes of one thinker. This work brings together Stephen R.L. Clark's major essays in one volume.
