      abstract = {"The assumption that humans are cognitively and morally  superior to other animals is fundamental to social  democracies and legal systems worldwide. It legitimises  treating members of other animal species as inferior to  humans. The last few decades have seen a growing awareness  of this issue, as evidence continues to show that  individuals of many other species have rich mental,  emotional and social lives. Bringing together leading  experts from a range of disciplines, this volume identifies  the key barriers to a definition of moral respect that  includes nonhuman animals. It sets out to increase concern,  empathy and inclusiveness by developing strategies that can  be used to protect other animals from exploitation in the  wild and from suffering in captivity. The chapters link  scientific data with normative and philosophical  reflections, offering unique insight into controversial  issues around the ethical, political and legal status of  other species"--},
