Description
Multispecies Legality investigates the complex relationship between animals and legal frameworks across different jurisdictions and time periods. Serrin Rutledge-Prior provides a comprehensive analysis of how legal systems conceptualize animal rights, protections, and standing within the law.
The book challenges traditional legal boundaries by examining whether and how non-human animals can be recognized as legal subjects rather than merely property or objects. Through detailed case studies and theoretical frameworks, Rutledge-Prior demonstrates how legal inclusion of animals reshapes fundamental legal principles and societal values.
Essential reading for scholars of animal law, legal philosophy, and environmental justice, this work contributes significantly to ongoing debates about multispecies coexistence and the ethical foundations of legal systems.
