Animal rights in practice. 520 $a "[This book] brings together [scholars] in the fields of animal ethics and moral theory to analyze and evaluate the moral status of non-human animals, with a special focus on whether animals have moral rights ... This book employs different ethical lenses, including classical deontology, libertarianism, commonsense morality, virtue ethics, utilitarianism, and the capabilities approach, to explore the philosophical basis for the strong animal rights view, which wholds that animals have moral rights equal in strength to the rights of humans, while also addressing what are undoubtedly the most serious challenges to the strong animal rights stance, including the challenges posed by rights nihilism, the 'kind' argument against animal rights, the problem of predation, and the comparative value of lives. In addition, contributors explore the practical import of animal rights both from a social policy standpoint and from the standpoint of personal ethical decisions concerning what to eat and whether to hunt animals. Unlike other volumes on animal rights, which focuses primarily on the legal rights of animals, and unlike other anthologies on animal ethics, which tend to cover a wide variety of topics but only devote a few articles to each topic, this volume focuses exclusively on the question of whether animals have moral rights and the practical import of such rights."-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Animal rights $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Animal welfare $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 7 $a Animal rights $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809368 650 7 $a Animal welfare $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809443 700 1 $a Engel, Mylan, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Moral rights of animals. $d Lanham, MD : Lexington Books, 2016 $z 9781498531917 $w (DLC) 2015048270 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023847.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D49FF2A580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
