Confronting Cruelty: Moral Orthodoxy and the Challenge of the Animal Rights Movement (Human-Animal Studies) Book

Why and how do people campaign on behalf of a species that is not their own?

The norm of moderate concern for animals - that animals matter albeit less than humans - permits the (ab)use of animals in vivisection, factory farming ,bloodsports and other contexts where animals suffer. Social movement theory is used to show how animal rights activists are engaged in the social construction of cruelty as a social problem which they seek to prevent by their intellectual, practical and emotion work in seminal campaigns against cruelty in the United States, England and Australia.Read More
