Abstract

In this compelling volume in the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, Paul Waldau expertly navigates the many heated debates surrounding the complex and controversial animal rights movement.Organized around a series of probing questions, this timely resource offers the most complete, even-handed survey of the animal rights movement available. The book covers the full spectrum of issues, beginning with a clear, highly instructive definition of animal rights. Waldau looks at the different concerns surrounding companion animals, wild animals, research animals, work animals, and animals used for food, provides a no-nonsense assessment of the treatment of animals, and addresses the philosophical and legal arguments that form the basis of animal rights. Along the way, readers will gain insight into the history of animal protection-as well as the political and social realities facing animals today-and become familiar with a range of hot-button topics, from animal cognition and autonomy, to attempts to balance animal cruelty versus utility. Chronicled here are many key figures and organizations responsible for moving the animal rights movement forward, as well as legislation and public policy that have been carried out around the world in the name of animal rights and animal protection. The final chapter of this indispensable volume looks ahead to the future of animal rights, and delivers an animal protection mandate for citizens, scientists, governments, and other stakeholders.With its multidisciplinary, non-ideological focus and all-inclusive coverage, Animal Rights represents the definitive survey of the animal rights movement-one that will engage every reader and student of animal rights, animal law, and environmental ethics.What Everyone Needs to Know® is a registered trademark of Oxford University Press.

Abstract

Faut-il faire du droit animalier une discipline à part entière ? Ce qui pourrait être considéré comme un pan du droit environnemental est sur le point aujourd’hui de voler de ses propres ailes, poussé par des sociétés de plus en plus enclines à considérer les animaux dignes de justice. Retracer l’histoire de ce droit animalier, qui régit l’encadrement des animaux tant pour s’en prémunir que pour les protéger, c’est glisser de l’anthropocentrisme à l’urgence contemporaine de la préservation de la biodiversité, de l’« animal-machine » de Descartes aux « êtres vivants doués de sensibilité » de la loi française du 16 février 2015. Cette prise en compte croissante dans la sphère juridique d’un « droit des animaux » théorique implique aujourd’hui la nécessité de repenser un rapport des hommes aux animaux non plus fondé sur l’hostilité et la méfiance, mais sur la prévention et la protection des uns et des autres. Devant la révolution que la soudaine mise en lumière du droit animalier a instaurée ces dernières années, cet ouvrage fait le point sur l’état de ce nouveau droit à travers les sources et les décisions de justice, et plaide pour la reconnaissance d’une discipline qui affecte déjà tous les autres pans du droit

Abstract

Animal welfare is attracting increasing interest worldwide, but particularly from those in developed countries, who now have the knowledge and resources to be able to offer the best management systems for their farm animals, as well as potentially being able to offer plentiful resources for companion, zoo and laboratory animals. The increased attention given to farm animal welfare in the West derives largely from the fact that the relentless pursuit of financial reward and efficiency has led to the development of intensive animal production systems, that challenge the conscience of many consumers in those countries. In developing countries human survival is still a daily uncertainty, so that provision for animal welfare has to be balanced against human welfare. Welfare is usually provided for only if it supports the output of the animal, be it food, work, clothing, sport or companionship. In reality, there are resources for all if they are properly husbanded in both developing and developed countries. The inequitable division of the world’s riches creates physical and psychological poverty for humans and animals alike in all sectors of the world. Livestock are the world’s biggest land user (FAO, 2002) and the population is increasing rapidly to meet the need of an expanding human population. Populations of farm animals managed by humans are therefore increasing worldwide, and there is the tendency to allocate fewer resources to each animal. Increased attention to welfare issues is just as evident for companion, laboratory, wild and zoo animals.
