Rain Without Thunder by Gary Francione

Rain Without Thunder by Gary Francione

A powerful re-examination of the animal rights movement and its shortcomings

"Francione cogently argues that the Animal Liberation Movement, though using rights rhetoric and espousing the eradication of animal exploitation, actually represents a new, self-defeating welfarism because its tactics embody the animal welfare positionConsequently, the plight of animals is worse than it was twenty years ago."
—Choice

"[A] must-read for those teaching animal ethics and for any laboratory animal specialist wanting to obtain a deeper understanding of the Animal Rights Movement."
—Lab Animal

"Gary Francione's work is both refined and exhaustively documented. [He] makes a strong case for viewing the animal rights position as both realistic and practical.... This is, in itself, a major contribution to the literature and one that will change the course of debate over animals."
—Michael Fox, Professor of Philosophy, Australian National University, Faculty of Arts
