ANIMAL RIGHTS VS. ANIMAL WELFARE

Animal Rights vs. Animal Welfare from Gary L. Francione on Vimeo.

Professor Francione argues that there are profound theoretical and practical differences between animal rights and animal welfare. He is critical of what he calls “new welfarism,” or the position that incremental improvements in animal welfare will lead to the abolition of animal exploitation. These views are contained in Rain Without Thunder: The Ideology of the Animal Rights Movement (Temple University Press, 1996).
