"The Animal Question: Why Nonhuman Animals Deserve Human Rights"

"The Animal Question: Why Nonhuman Animals Deserve Human Rights" argues that many animals have the capacity to experience pain, suffering, and even interests similar to humans. The book challenges the idea that humans should have exclusive rights and suggests that moral consideration should extend beyond our species. It advocates for recognizing animals’ intrinsic value and granting them rights to prevent exploitation and cruelty. Ultimately, it encourages us to rethink our relationship with animals, promoting ethical treatment based on their capacity for experience, and calling for societal and legal changes to protect their well-being.
