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

The evolution of animal rights in Western culture over the past three decades is explored, highlighting the ambiguity of the term, which often conflates animal welfare with a more radical ideology. Wesley J. Smith critiques how this movement, while occasionally advocating for humane treatment, fundamentally promotes a belief system that challenges traditional views on human-animal relationships. The book delves into the implications of these shifts and the broader societal impact of the animal rights agenda.
