More about the book

Exploring the concept of rights, the book argues that the fundamental right to avoid pain and suffering should extend beyond humans to all sentient beings. It challenges traditional criteria for rights eligibility, such as intelligence or language ability, which can unjustly exclude many humans and animals. By drawing parallels to social injustices like sexism and racism, the author advocates for a broader understanding of justice that includes animals, asserting that all sentient beings deserve basic rights based on their capacity for suffering and pleasure.
