Bringing together the expertise of rhetoricians in English and
communication as well as media studies scholars, Arguments about
Animal Ethics delves into the rhetorical and discursive practices
of participants in controversies over the use of nonhuman animals
for meat, entertainment, fur, and vivisection. Both sides of the
debate are carefully analyzed, as the contributors examine how
stakeholders persuade or fail to persuade audiences about the
ethics of animal rights or the value of using animals. The essays
in this volume cover a wide range of topics, such as the campaigns
waged by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (including the
sexy vegetarian and nude campaigns), greyhound activists, the
Corolla Wild Horse Fund, food manufacturers, and the biomedical
research industry, as well as communication across the
human-nonhuman animal boundary and the failure of the animal rights
movement to protest research into genetically modifying living
beings. Arguments about Animal Ethics' insightful analysis of the
animal rights movement will appeal to communication scholars, as
well as those interested in social change.
