The assumption that humans are cognitively and morally superior to
other animals is fundamental to social democracies and legal
systems worldwide. It legitimises treating members of other animal
species as inferior to humans. The last few decades have seen a
growing awareness of this issue, as evidence continues to show that
individuals of many other species have rich mental, emotional and
social lives. Bringing together leading experts from a range of
disciplines, this volume identifies the key barriers to a
definition of moral respect that includes nonhuman animals. It sets
out to increase concern, empathy and inclusiveness by developing
strategies that can be used to protect other animals from
exploitation in the wild and from suffering in captivity. The
chapters link scientific data with normative and philosophical
reflections, offering unique insight into controversial issues
around the ethical, political and legal status of other species.
