Book Synopsis


Trade Review
‘This impressive book brings together and adds to the unique, creative, and thoughtful legal possibilities David Favre has posited for achieving meaningful improvements in the lives of animals. Built on a carefully argued ethical framework and focussing on companion animals - especially dogs - as a means of emotional and political engagement - Favre addresses a significant gap in much animal law scholarship. He is able to shift from a diagnosis of shortcomings in the law affecting animals to a rich account of a host of legal reforms - both modest and significant - which might be pursued. The book is highly readable, clear-sighted, and ultimately optimistic about the prospects of legal change for the betterment of the animals with which we share our lives and the planet.‘
