Animal rights groups often go overboard in putting animals before human beings . . .
A Rat Is A Pig Is a Dog Is A Boy: The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement
Encounter Books, 2010.
270 pages, $25.95 hardcover
Animal rights groups sometimes focus on animal welfare, but the movement is advancing a radical belief that declares equivalency between animal lives and human lives.
Some believe their cause entitles them to cross the line from advocacy to harassment. All who love animals agree that we owe animals respect. But Smith argues that our obligation to humanity matters more, and that granting “rights” to animals diminishes human dignity.
