Book Synopsis
Examines the barriers that our philosophical traditions have erected between human beings and animals and reveals that the too-often ridiculed subject of animal rights is an issue crucially related to such problems within the human community as racism, sexism, and age discrimination.

Trade Review
This is a good and readable, though not easy, book, and it is written with such sincerity that it will force readers to consider more deeply the question of exactly what sort of rights animals—human beings included—have." — Christian Science Monitor

"Midgley demolishes some of the most frequently heard arguments against the protection of animals." — New York Review of Books
