  Demonstrates why Francione's theory is regarded as an innovation in animal ethics. This volume explains our attitudes about animals by distinguishing the issue of animal use from that of animal treatment. It presents a theory of animal rights, which focuses on the need to accord all sentient nonhumans the right not to be treated as our property.
