Powerpoint presentation from Animal Rights: The abolitionist approach; Part 2 Animals as property

 

Professor Gary L. Francione argues that the property status of animals renders meaningless animal welfare laws that prohibit the infliction of unecessary suffering and require the humane treatment of nonhumans. Professor Franciones book, Animals, Property, and the Law (Temple University Press, 1995), provided the first legal analysis of the property status of animals and was described by Tom Regan as a work of unquestionable historic importance.
