The Global Guide to Animal Protection by Andrew Linzey
An interdisciplinary compendium of worldwide animal rights issues
"Even when faced with urgent human problems, we should not overlook the issue of justice to animals. . . This Global Guide reflects a growing worldwide sensitivity to animals and a developing sense that--as a matter of justice--they deserve our compassion and respect. It has my warm support."--Archbishop Desmond Tutu, from the book's foreword

While it draws attention to many contemptible forms of animal abuse, it also offers glimmers of hope by highlighting the positive work of numerous animal advocates who work to protect our nonhuman cohabitants of planet Earth."--Marc R. Fellenz, author of The Moral Menagerie: Philosophy and Animal Rights
