A critical look at animal rights and animal use (2)
A broad and growing concern for animals has many people talking about animal rights. At the same time, confusion about the meaning of the term is also widespread. Whether you’re curious to learn more about animal rights, opposed to the idea, want to know how best to help animals, or even if you already advocate for animals, you won’t want to miss this upcoming one-night-only lecture by animal rights pioneer Gary L. Francione.
Over the decades, Professor Francione has developed the abolitionist approach to animal rights through his work, incluing several books, ranging from Animals, Property, and the Law to Animals as Persons: Essays on the Abolition of Animal Exploitation. The night of May 7th, he will summarize his views and engage the audience in a substantial and informative question and answer period.
