The Unheeded Cry: Animal Consciousness, Animal Pain and Science (Studies in Bioethics)

The author traces the development of changing attitudes towards animals and shows how growing social concern about the treatment of animals is forcing science to turn back to a common-sense view. He explains why and how scientists have been so cavalier about animal use, animal pain and the moral questions they raise. He explores the damage caused by this position, both morally and scientifically. Bernard Rollin has lectured on animal rights, animal pain, the ethics of animal research, genetic engineering and related issues to medical researchers, veterinary surgeons, psychologists, lawyers, government agencies and agricultural groups in the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia. His "Animal Rights and Human Morality" was made Academic Book of the Year by the American Association of University Libraries.
