What They're Saying

Critics Review

I think this is an absolutely fantastic book and will be a great resource for students. – Russil Durrant * Victoria University of Wellington *Animal Rights Law is a compelling book that surveys the broad landscape of animal rights theoretical and practical discourse in a manner that engages with the needs of beginners and those coming to the subject with a limited knowledge of animal rights, while also providing sufficient depth to interest those with more experience of animal rights discourse who will find the text a useful reference to key debates, case law and legislation and theoretical positions … It is a timely book, and the authors are commended for having covered a challenging topic in such a compelling read. – Angus Nurse, Anglia Ruskin University, UK * Environmental Law Review *
