First sentence: The appearance of new subjects on the social scene is usually accompanied by a questioning of the status quo.
Description: This book tackles the controversial question: should human rights be granted to animals? Cavalieri's defence of the rights of nonhuman animals questions the nature, scope and language of contemporary ethics and the legal system.
