Living with Animals brings a pragmatist ecofeminst perspective to
discussions around animal rights, animal welfare, and animal ethics
to move the conversation beyond simple use or non-use decisions.
Erin McKenna uses a case study approach with select species to
question how humans should live and interact with various animal
beings through specific instances of such relationships. Addressing
standard topics such as the use of animals for food, use for
biomedical research, use in entertainment, use as companions, use
as captive specimens in zoos, and use in hunting and ecotourism
through a revolutionary pluralist and experimental approach,
McKenna provides an uncommonly nuanced accounts for complex
relationships and changing circumstances. Rather than seek absolute
moral stands regarding human relationships with other animal
beings, and rather than trying to end such relationships
altogether, the books urges us to make existing relations better.
