21st Century Citizen Perspectives on Today's Issues - Animal Rights

Product Description

The Twenty-First Century Citizen series focuses on social concerns, political problems, and new scientific developments in a rapidly changing world. With quotations from international commentators and young people themselves, these books give an up-to-date, global perspective on some of today's most pressing moral questions. Humans and animals have a complex relationship. We farm and hunt animals, yet we also care for them as pets. We use animals in scientific research, yet we also campaign to protect them when they become endangered. In Animal Rights, Kay Woodward explores the way humans have treated animals in the past, and how attitudes are now changing.
