Zoopolis (by Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka)

Zoopolis, by Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka, is a political philosophy that advocates for recognizing animals as citizens within human society. It challenges traditional views that see animals solely as property or resources, proposing instead that they have rights and responsibilities based on their social roles. The book categorizes animals into groups—domestic, wild, and liminal—each deserving different forms of moral and political consideration. It emphasizes coexistence, stewardship, and respect, advocating for policies that protect animal communities and integrate their well-being into societal decision-making, fostering a more inclusive approach to animal ethics and governance.
