Title: | An Empirical Approach to Legal Rights for Animals: Some Pluses, More Minuses | Contributor(s): | Fox, MA (author) | Publication Date: | 2004 | DOI: | 10.1163/1568530043068056 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/676 | Abstract: | The literature on animal rights and related issues is burgeoning. If one were seeking a candidate for the "understatement of the year award", this proposition certainly would look like a winner. One must be forgiven the inclination to think that whatever is sayable on these topics already has been said—indeed, many times over. Isthere anything new under the sun? Well, yes: What is relatively new, at least, is the use of empirical data to support a higher level of ethical consideration and a more significant legal status for nonhuman animals. DeGrazia (1996) first devoted a full-lengthstudy to how science may be applied to ethical theorizing about animals. In like manner, Wise's (2002) work brings science more forcefully to bear on legal theorizing about animals. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Society and Animals, 12(4), p. 341-348 | Publisher: | Brill | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1568-5306 1063-1119 |
