商品描述
We are currently engaged in an existential species war against nonhuman animals. This book argues that, during this war, nonhuman animals should be granted legal personhood and treated as 'protected persons' rather than the property of 'protected persons.' The main argument is that War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity - rape, forced pregnancy and other acts of sexual violence - are being committed within the meat, egg and dairy industries.
Avoiding 'dreaded comparisons', the book explores shared sources of oppression between human and nonhuman animals who are subject to the expressions and consequences of reproductive violence. It asks: what drives and facilitates the war against nonhuman animals? And what are the global consequences of this war? Throughout, it demonstrates how racism, sexism, and speciesism informs both intrahuman violence and the violence(s) of the animal-industrial complex. Ultimately the book asks us to reconsider what it means to be human.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
我們目前正處於一場對抗非人類動物的存在性物種戰爭中。本書主張，在這場戰爭中，應該給予非人類動物法律人格，並將其視為「受保護人」而非「受保護人的財產」。主要論點是，在肉類、蛋類和乳製品行業中，正在發生戰爭罪和反人類罪行，包括強姦、強迫懷孕和其他性暴力行為。本書避免了「可怕的比較」，探討了人類和非人類動物之間受到生殖暴力表達和後果壓迫的共同來源。它問道：是什麼驅使和促成了對非人類動物的戰爭？這場戰爭的全球後果是什麼？整本書都展示了種族主義、性別歧視和物種歧視如何影響人類內部暴力和動物工業複合體的暴力行為。最終，本書要求我們重新思考人類的意義。
