What Animals Want

Larry Carbone a veterinarian who is in charge of the lab animal welfare assurance program at a major research university presents this scholarly history of animal rights. Biomedical researchers and the less fanatical among the animal rights activists will find this book reasonable humane and novel in its perspective. It brings a novel sociological perspective to an area that has been addressed largely from a philosophical perspective or from the entrenched positions of highly committed advocates of a particular position in the debate.
