Used or Abused?: Advocating for Animal Rights (Spotlight on Social Justice)

Description

For thousands of years, animals have played vital roles in human lives, yet many have also faced mistreatment and exploitation. Animal rights activists champion that all animals deserve to live free from human-caused cruelty and suffering. They emphasize treating animals with respect, allowing them to thrive in their natural environments, and reject practices that exploit them for food, entertainment, or experimentation.

Used or Abused? delves into how animals have been subjected to mistreatment for human gain, while also shedding light on national and international laws that aim to protect them. And it highlights the efforts of organizations fighting against animal abuse in areas such as medical and cosmetic testing, factory farming, trophy hunting, poaching, pet breeding, and sports.
