In this clear elucidation of the philosophy of animal rights, professors, Mylan Engel and Kathie Jenni, explore the fundamental outlines of the debate over our duties and responsibilities toward nonhuman animals. They, also, examine how the issue of animal rights plays out in a classroom setting and address some of the questions that arise for both students and teachers in presenting and studying this subject. In two course syllabi, Engel and Jenni place animal rights in the context of ethical practice and the environmental movement. The book, also, contains an extensive bibliography of references and philosophical resources
