Synopsis
Why should we care about animals? What can we do for them, and what can we stop doing against them? These are some of the important questions that this book seeks to address through clearly-exposed arguments and an abundance of facts and examples. It points out to the weakness of many preconceived notions about animals, it uncovers the harsh conditions under which many animals live, and it provides conclusive reasons for the importance of the cause of animal rights.
Oscar Horta is a professor of moral philosophy at the University of Santiago de Compostela. An engaged animal rights activist, he has written extensively on the subject of animal ethics and his articles have been featured in prestigious international publications such as the Journal of Applied Philosophy, the Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, and the International Encyclopedia of Ethics, as well as in his own blog, Ética más allá de la especie.
