Munro (sociology, Monash U., Australia) examines grassroots activism and organizational advocacy of the animal movement in Australia, the UK and the U.S., to understand how and why people campaign on behalf of a species that is not their own. Coverage includes an overview of the social constructionist perspective on social problems and its relevance to the animal problem; cruelty and compassion in a decent society; the animal movement's diagnosis of cruelty in its campaigns against vivisection, blood sports, and factory farming; exposure and interference strategies; and the mobilization of emotions to build support for the movement. The text is a revised version of Munro's doctoral dissertation; some sections are based on work that the author has previously published in books and scholarly journals.
