More about the book
The book explores the concept of rights, arguing that the fundamental right against coercive exploitation should extend beyond humans to all sentient beings. It challenges traditional criteria for rights eligibility, such as intelligence or language, which can unjustly exclude certain humans and animals. Through the lens of justice, it likens speciesism to other forms of discrimination, asserting that the principles of liberty and justice demand recognition of basic rights for all sentient beings, not just humans.
