"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.

Animal rights is one the pre-eminent liberation struggles of our time. Yet the rise of a more sympathetic attitude towards animals began in Western Europe in the eighteenth century, when a number of progressive thinkers and writers recognized that animals felt pain and experienced pleasure and might therefore deserve to be granted inalienable rights. Thus was born the diverse movement that now stands on the brink of transforming our relationship to the natural world. "The cry of nature" reveals for the first time the significant role played by artists in the development of animal rights from the eighteenth century to today. Artists from Hogarth and Géricault to Picasso and Bacon have represented the suffering, chastisement and resistence of animals. Their works illustrate the lessons of Montaigne, Rousseau, Darwin, Freud and others - that humans and animals should be included within the domain of moral rights. Stephen Eisenman also traces the roots of speciesim - the presumption of human superiority - back to the classical world and at the same time describes the cultures, communities and individuals that were free from prejudice against animals. Both a survey and a closely argued examination of a crucial but misunderstood epoch in the long history of human-animal relationships, "The cry of nature" is a book for everyone interested in animal rights, art history and the history of ideas.

Les animaux ont des droits. C'est la thèse que défend Tom Regan dans cette œuvre fondatrice, contribution majeure à la réflexion morale contemporaine. Loin d'être sans pensée, comme l'affirmait Descartes, les animaux que nous mangeons, chassons ou livrons aux expériences scientifiques sont conscients du monde. Leur esprit est empreint de croyances et de désirs, de souvenirs et d'attentes. Ce sont, à ce titre, des êtres dotés d'une valeur morale propre, indépendamment de l'utilité qu'ils peuvent avoir pour nous.Ce n'est pas simplement par compassion pour leur souffrance, mais par égard pour leur valeur que nous devons les traiter avec respect. La théorie de Regan est la formulation philosophique la plus élaborée et la plus radicale d'une éthique des droits des animaux. Elle pose une exigence de cohérence : si nous refusons l'exploitation des hommes, il nous faut également dénoncer l'exploitation des animaux non humains.L'abolition de l'élevage, de la chasse et de l'expérimentation est requise par la justice.

Les animaux souffrent comme nous. Comme nous aussi, ils jouissent du bien-être. Mieux que nous parfois, ils s'imposent par la ruse et l'intelligence. Comment continuer à les traiter comme des «choses» dont on se contenterait de condamner l'abus ? Mais faut-il pour autant leur accorder des droits, et si oui lesquels ? Et qui veillera à leur application ? Pour répondre à ces questions et à tant d'autres, Boris Cyrulnik l'éthologue, Elisabeth de Fontenay la philosophe, Peter Singer le bioéthicien croisent leurs regards et confrontent leurs savoirs sur la question animale. La voie est tracée pour que le législateur s'attelle à la rédaction du contrat qu'il nous faut maintenant passer sans délai avec nos frères en animalité, au nom de la dignité humaine.
