"Moving Beyond Animal Rights: A Legal/Contractualist Critique"

By Adam Kolber

ADVERTISEMENTS
Richard L. Cupp, Jr., (Law, Pepperdine) has passed along some information about a recent article of his in the San Diego Law Review that:
critiques the analogy made by some animal rights theorists between granting rights to "marginal" humans (e.g., mentally incapable adults and infants) and bestowing rights to animals. Moving Beyond Animal Rights: A Legal/Contractualist Critique . . . explores current and historical arguments for granting some rights to mentally incapable humans. The article asserts that none of the major theories of rights for marginal humans are useful analogies for arguments for animal rights.
Here is the SSRN link.
