A specific application of the theory : the regulation of animal experimentation -- Epilogue: An alternative to legal welfarism? -- Explanation of legal citations -- Notes.""Pain is pain, irrespective of the race, sex, or species of the victim,"" states William Kunstler in his foreword. This moral concern for the suffering of animals and their legal status is the basis for Gary L. Francione's profound book, which asks, Why has the law failed to protect animals from exploitation?Francione argues that the current legal standard of animal welfare does not and cannot establish fights for animals. As long as they are viewed as property, animals will be subject to suffering for the social and economic benefit of human beings.Exploring every facetEthics and action.Animal welfareLaw and legislationUnited StatesAnimalsLaw and legislationUnited StatesAnimal rightsAnimal welfareLaw and legislationAnimalsLaw and legislationAnimal rights.346.7304/6954347.30646954Francione Gary L(Gary Lawrence),1954-1567528Kunstler William M.Esq.1567529MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791492903321Animals, property, and the law3838981UNINA
