Rain without Thunder: The Ideology of the Animal Rights Movementby: Gary L. Francione August 23, 1996 Search: animal rights |
||
|
In "Rain Without Thunder," Francione discusses the emergence of "new welfarists" who are doing the animals more harm than good. He meticulously lays out why animal welfare cannot lead to animal liberation. And argues a need for change. This book is a must read for all animal rights activists. Unfortunately you won't see it carried by mainstream "animal rights" (which GF calles the "new welfarists")organizations, because it is much too controversial!

Rattling the Cage: Towards Legal Rights for Animalsby: Steven Wise May 08, 2000 Search: animal rights |
||
|
A very useful and well-written introduction to the legal status of chimpanzees and bonobos. Steven Wise argues that our primate cousins should be given legal rights, but argues this on the grounds that they share our cognitive skills, as opposed to the usual animal rights argument (from Jeremy Bentham to Peter Singer) that the mental ability of animals is irrelevant compared to their capacity for suffering. While I hope that Wise's book will do much to improve the lot of chimps and bonobos, I wonder how much good it will do for the wider animal rights movement.

Pure Deceptionby: David Michie January 18, 2001 Search: animal rights |

I am quite a fan of conspiracy theories and thrillers, Dan Brown and Frederick Forsyth are among my favourites. But this book is an outsider that I throughly enjoyed. The review and description don't do it justice - it has all the assassins and spies and twisty plots that you can wish for, all set in the glamour of a rags to riches story of one of the main characters Mark who becomes a pop star. However, this story is extremely well written and truly keeps you on your toes until, literally, the very last page. The characters are I think very well presented, and I enjoyed the idea that the characters are ordinary people who have to deal with situations as opposed to seasoned covert operatives etc. If you like Robert Ludlum, Forsyth, Dan ...

Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animalsby: John Gray October 16, 2007 Search: animal rights |
||
|
This polemic is an attack on humanism. Is it just another deluded philosophy? Nothing more than the various religions it tries so hard to differentiate itself from?
If you are going to constructively criticise something, you need to be sure you understand what it is you are criticising. Does Gray? Most religions use scripture as some sort of starting point to define their belief system. Christianity has the Bible, Islam the Koran, Hindu has - amongst others - the Upanishads. Each religion then tries to interpret their respective scripture. They may disagree on the details but the basis of the belief system is defined. Humanism, has no scripture. So is it just a subjective philosophy? The closest we have to an objective ... Read More: >>More Details |
