A Rat Is a Pig Is a Dog Is a Boy: The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement

The book explores the evolution of animal rights over the past thirty years, highlighting its deep integration into Western culture. Wesley J. Smith argues that the term "animal rights" is often misused, equating it with mere kindness toward animals. He emphasizes that while some animal rights groups advocate for animal welfare, the broader movement promotes a more radical ideology that challenges traditional views on human-animal relationships. This critical examination reveals the complexities and implications of the animal rights movement.
