"The fight to give animals legal rights barely registers on the environmental agenda, but perhaps it should....In 2003, however, a new and growing movement is trying to afford some genuine legal rights for animals. Buoyed by a growing awareness about animal intelligence and capacities, the courts, state governments--and the general public in statewide referenda--are enacting and enforcing new legislation." (E MAGAZINE) The author examines the growing movement to give animals legal rights and identifies the leaders behind the new movement and the progress being made.
