Quick Summary
Cruelty to Animals by Adam Hibbert examines the complex issues surrounding animal welfare and animal rights through factual reporting, statistics, and real-world examples of how animals are treated in various industries. The book covers topics including factory farming, animal testing, wildlife conservation, and the ethical debates between animal welfare advocates and animal rights activists, while also providing suggested topics for classroom debate.
