Publisher Synopsis
"This original and cutting-edge work challenges myths and misconceptions that are used to legitimate human, particularly male, exploitation of other animals. Luke supplements his arguments against notions of human superiority, natural species boundaries, and the naturalness of male predation with original insights that expose the shallowness of traditional speciesist thought. He then goes where few writers have gone before when he examines the eroticized nature of men's exploitation of other animals." David Nibert, author of Animal Rights/Human Rights: Entanglements of Oppression and Liberation Read more...
