Comments
Francione is a more radical defender of animals’ rights even than Tom Regan. He argues that the basis of rights is sentience (as opposed to Regan’s more complicated demands of fairly complex forms of consciousness). In this book he argues that animals should not be treated merely as means to human ends, and (among other things) that they should not therefore be viewed as human property. Elsewhere he argues that we should not keep pets. - CLARE PALMER
