Rezensionen

"Bob Fischer's book is a fantastic and unorthodox introduction to animal ethics. It's highly readable, appealingly honest, firmly grounded in real-life cases, and challenges readers to think for themselves."
Clare Palmer, Texas A&M University

"This is an excellent introduction to animal ethics, both its various moral frameworks and the range of issues related to nonhuman animals. Its nuanced exploration of animal ethics is written in a style that is simultaneously accessible and engaging to newcomers to this topic and insightful and productively provocative for readers with extensive experience thinking about these issues. From a teaching perspective, this introduction makes many valuable observations and raises important questions for thinking about how to approach these topics. It is both a fantastic introduction and a valuable tool for prompting deeper discussions in more advanced courses."
Elan Abrell, New York University
