Peter Singer, Princeton University
"Garner's book will be of great value for the non-professional
philosopher who is looking for a roadmap into the complex world of
animal ethics. The book's strength lies in Garner's ability to
present and position a variety of philosophical perspectives in a
succinct and cogent manner. I greatly applaud this effort on
Garner's part and encourage the uninitiated reader to delve into
the philosophical complexities with the help of Garner's guiding
hand."

"Garner succeeds in presenting a clearly written and eminently
readable account of present thinking on the moral status of
animals."
Times Literary Supplement
"For those teaching courses in animals and society or in applied
ethics, Garner's book could serve as an introduction to various
arguments for and against extension of rights and moral status to
animals. The book is serious, concise and clearly-written, and
Garner sets out the arguments fairly, even where it is plain that
he disagrees."
Canadian Journal of Sociology Online
‘A special blending of political science and philosophy,
Animal Ethics shines the spotlight of clarity and reason into the
complexities of animals and their moral and legal status in
today’s society. ’
