Abstract The fight for animal rights can be controversial. Modern champions for animal rights believe that animals should not be regarded as property, and they should not be used for food, clothing, for entertainment, or in scientific research. This illuminating book helps explain the difference between animal welfare and animal rights, and what "cruelty" is and who defines it. Young animal lovers will learn how they can fight for the protection and preservation of animals in a peaceful way.
