The Rights of an Animal: A New Essay in Ethics is a book written by Edward Byron Nicholson that explores the ethical considerations surrounding the treatment of animals. The book argues that animals have inherent rights that must be respected by humans, and that the mistreatment of animals is morally wrong. The author draws on a range of philosophical and ethical theories to support this argument, including utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. The book also examines the practical implications of animal rights, including the use of animals in scientific research, factory farming, and the entertainment industry. The author provides a compelling case for the need to recognize the rights of animals and offers practical recommendations for how individuals and society as a whole can better protect these rights. Overall, The Rights of an Animal is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a complex and important issue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
