Speciesism is a form of discrimination against those who don't belong to a certain species. It drives us to see nonhuman animals as objects, rather than individuals with their own interests and with the ability to feel and suffer. This book questions all of the assumptions speciesism is based upon. It raises many challenging questions over humans' very complicated attitudes toward other animals. Thinking about how animals are used as well as the suffering of wild animals, and what the future may be for all beings, this book calls for society to seriously take into account the interests of all animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor all who care about animals, or simply how to make the world a better place, this book is essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOscar Horta\u003c\/strong\u003e is an animal activist and moral philosopher at the Department of Philosophy and Anthropology at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), Spain.
