The moral equality of humans and animals
New York, NY: Palgrave-Macmillan (2015)
Abstract
Received opinion has it that humans are morally superior to non-human animals; human interests matter more than the like interests of animals and the value of human lives is alleged to be greater than the value of nonhuman animal lives. Since this belief causes mayhem and murder, its de-mythologizing requires urgent attention.Author's Profile
