      abstract = {This Handbook fills a large gap in current scholarly  literature on animal abuse studies. It moves considerably  beyond the debate that has traditionally dominated the  discourse of animal abuse – the link between one-on-one  interpersonal violence and animal abuse – and towards those  institutionalised forms of animal abuse which are routine,  everyday, socially acceptable and invisibilised. Chapters  from expert contributors raise issues such as: the use of  animals as edibles; vivisection; animal sexual assault;  animals used in sport and hunting; animal trafficking; the  use of animals by youth gangs, by other groups and in war;  species extinction; and the passivity of national and  international organisations in combating animal abuse. The  Handbook is a unique text: it is essential reading for  students, researchers, academics, activists and policy  makers involved in understanding and preventing animal  abuse.--},
