Reviews

“This book is groundbreaking because it offers a unique approach to animal ethics. ... Its strengths lie in its well- organized structure, extensive references, and formal academic tone, making it an excellent resource for scholars and anyone with a strong interest in animal ethics. ... It is a thought-provoking read that inspires further exploration into the fascinating world of animal communication. Personally, as someone fascinated by the animal world, this book opened my eyes to new possibilities in interspecies interactions.” (Nithin Varghese, The Philosophical Quarterly, May 29, 2024)
