Murdering Animals confronts the speciesism underlying the disparate
social censures of homicide and "theriocide" (the killing of
animals by humans), and as such, is a plea to take animal rights
seriously. Its substantive topics include the criminal prosecution
and execution of justiciable animals in early modern Europe; images
of hunters put on trial by their prey in the upside-down world of
the Dutch Golden Age; the artist William Hogarth's patriotic
depictions of animals in 18th Century London; and the playwright
J.M. Synge's representation of parricide in fin de siecle Ireland.
Combining insights from intellectual history, the history of the
fine and performing arts, and what is known about today's
invisibilised sites of animal killing, Murdering Animals inevitably
asks: should theriocide be considered murder? With its strong
multi- and interdisciplinary approach, this work of collaboration
will appeal to scholars of social and species justice in animal
studies, criminology, sociology and law.
