Are animals worthy recipients of justice? If so, what do we owe
them, and what is to be gained by using the language of justice
when considering our duties toward them? This innovative book
argues that not only are animals worthy recipients of justice, but
that the language of justice offers a stronger base of claims for
animal advocates than does the language of ethics or morality.
Contending that a genuinely political theory of animal rights must
go beyond the level of ideal theory, this is the first account of
animal ethics to use nonideal theory to plot a course from where we
are now to where we want to be. Robert Garner argues that a valid
theory of justice for animals should be rights-based, and that
animals have a right to not suffer at the hands of humans. At the
same time, he argues that humans have a greater interest in life
and liberty than most species of nonhuman animals. Tackling animal
ethics as it relates to justice and non-ideal theory, this is a
seminal work that will challenge traditional approaches and offer a
compelling new vision of animal justice.
