Abstract
I regard myself as an advocate of animal rights—as part of the animal rights movement. That movement, as I conceive it, is committed to a number of goals, including:
-
the total abolition of the use of animals in science;
-
the total dissolution of commercial animal agriculture;
-
the total elimination of commercial and sport hunting and trapping.
