Do Animals Have Rights? is a 2005 non-fiction book on animal rights by British philosopher Alison Hills from the University of Bristol. The book explores the ethics of factory farming, animal experimentation and other issues involving animals from a philosophical analysis.[1]
Hills authored the book as an accessible examination of the ethical issues regarding the human use of animals. The book goes beyond the rights argument and delves into the moral issues and how they might be resolved. The book has chapters on the history of animal protection legislation, animal consciousness, human relationships with animals and case studies on factory farming, fox hunting, science and suffering and pets.[2]
