Florence BELLIVIER - Are the Protection of Animals and Universal Human Rights Incompatible in Principle ?

Pouvoirs n°131 - Les animaux - novembre 2009 - p.127-134

Despite appearances, the defence of animal rights and the struggle for Human rights are not necessarily antinomic. Ethical, philosophical and legal progress in the domain of man’s duties toward animals do not inevitably lead to a reversal of human/animal values, feared by some and hoped for by others. Yet, it is still the case that the cause of animals does not fit very well with the universal dimension of human rights. Résumé
