Animal Rights Vs Animal Welfare
Slide presentation by Gary L. Francione about the theoretical and practical differences between animal rights and animal welfare.
Professor Francione argues that there are profound theoretical and practical differences between animal rights and animal welfare. He is critical of what he calls “new welfarism,” or the position that incremental improvements in animal welfare will lead to the abolition of animal exploitation. These views are contained in Rain Without Thunder: The Ideology of the Animal Rights Movement (Temple University Press, 1996).
