"This volume broadens animal liberation dialogues by offering the arguments, challenges, inspiration and narratives of grassroots activists. The essays show what animal advocacy looks like from a collective of individuals living in and around Minnesota's Twin Cities; the essayists, however, write of issues, both personal and political, that resound on a global scale"--Provided by publisher.

En los últimos años, entre la opinión pública se ha extendido la idea de que es necesario poner freno a muchas tradiciones y prácticas que implican el sufrimiento animal. Estas reivindicaciones en ocasiones se han hecho demandando un aumento de la regulación y, en otras, defendiendo la abolición de la relación entre los animales humanos y no humanos porque los primeros siempre explotan a los segundos. El término «derechos de los animales» ha comenzado a utilizarse en el discurso social y político, siendo muchas veces discutido por parte de los juristas que entienden que sin agencia y subjetividad moral difícilmente alguien puede ser titular de derechos, sino más bien receptor de determinados deberes. En otros casos, los que han utilizado la expresión derechos de los animales se referían a derechos morales y no a derechos jurídicos, faltando un análisis legal detallado acerca de cómo plasmar esas reivindicaciones morales en normas jurídicas efectivas.El presente volumen pretende colmar en parte esa laguna. Por un lado, se defiende que los animales son miembros de la comunidad moral en tanto que están dotados tanto de moral como estructura como de moral como contenido y son capaces de aprender y obedecer (y desobedecer) determinadas reglas. A partir de ahí, se entiende que son las comunidades políticas las que reconocen derechos jurídicos a sus miembros y, en este sentido, no todos los animales pertenecen a las mismas comunidades políticas, como Sue Donaldson y Will Kymlicka explicaron con detalle en Zoopolis (2011). Este libro repasa los derechos de ciudadanía que tendrían que tener reconocidos los animales que forman parte de nuestras comunidades políticas, derechos que no solo son de libertad, sino que alcanzan también a los derechos sociales y los derechos políticos, analizando cuestiones como la ganadería industrial, la alimentación o el uso de pieles. Tomarse en serio los derechos de los animales significa otorgarles la condición de ciudadanos con iguales derechos que los que los ciudadanos humanos ya disfrutamos.

Animal rights is one of the fastest growing social movements today. Women greatly outnumber men as activists, yet surprisingly, little has been written about the importance and impact of gender on the movement. Women and the Animal Rights Movement combats stereotypes of women activists as mere sentimentalists by exploring the political and moral character of their advocacy on behalf of animals. Emily Gaarder analyzes the politics of gender in the movement, incorporating in-depth interviews with women and participant observation of animal rights organizations, conferences, and protests to describe struggles over divisions of labor and leadership. Controversies over PETA advertising campaigns that rely on women's sexuality to "sell" animal rights illustrate how female crusaders are asked to prioritize the cause of animals above all else. Gaarder underscores the importance of a paradigm shift in the animal liberation movement, one that seeks a more integrated vision of animal rights that connects universally to other issues--gender, race, economics, and the environment--highlighting that many women activists recognize and are motivated by the connection between the oppression of animals and other social injustices.
