Kazez (philosophy, Southern Methodist U.) takes the middle ground in the debate about animal rights and argues for respect for animals. She confesses to her own inconsistencies and dilemmas and refrains from preaching about what people should and shouldn't do; instead, she explores the ethical issues arising from human-animal interactions. She discusses what has been said about the human-animal differences in ancient religion and indigenous myth and the writings of Western and Eastern philosophers, what can be learned from animal psychologists and ethologists, and whether humans and animals are on different moral planes. She describes uses of animals throughout human history, such as for food, warmth, vaccines, and sport, and declining species. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
