Product Description

Book Description
Roger Scruton sets out a compelling account of how we should think about the morality of our relationships to other animals. He argues that it is wrong to believe that animals automatically have rights, but suggests we owe them duties depending on whether we are treating them as pets, for laboratory experiments or for meat. This is essential reading in the light of the recent public concern over issues such as veal calf exportation and the BSE crisis

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting arguments, 7 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Do animals have rights? This is the question that Roger Scruton sets out to investigate in his updated and controversial book Animal Rights and Wrongs. Controversial being the operative word, with many of Scrutons arguments quite sensational. However, that being said he does have some salient points on an issue which has become increasingly one sided. If nothing else it is a book that will keep you thinking, keep you arguing, tutting and muttering to yourself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely ridiculous!, 2 Mar 2009
By N. Paton (Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would advise to aviod this book, if you are a vegetarian or animal-lover. This book is nothing but finding excuses to justify human cruelty and human superiority over animals. The writer is a typical narrow-minded egoistic man, who clearly favours speciesm. Terrible! He is brainwashed by our society, not able to see outside the box.
