An Ethical Critique of Fur Factory Farming: The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series

Autor Andrew Linzey, Clair Linzey
en Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2022
The fur trade is a multi-million-dollar industry. It is estimated that over 100 million animals are killed in fur farms worldwide annually. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the state of fur factory farming worldwide, and an ethical critique of the main arguments propounded by the fur industry. Consideration is also given to an attempt to justify fur farming through the concept of “Welfur."  Andrew Linzey and Clair Linzey argue that from any ethical perspective, fur factory farming fails basic moral tests.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Demonstrating their characteristic accessible yet detailed writing, Andrew and Clair Linzey make an unanswerable argument for ending factory fur farming. An Ethical Critique of Fur Factory Farming is especially impressive in presenting the best defence fur farming has to offer, and then showing its glaring inadequacies. Anyone even remotely thinking about buying fur, needs first to read this book."
Mark Bernstein, Professor Emeritus, Purdue University, USA
