N2  - This book explores the moral rights of animals through several lenses, such as classical deontology, libertarianism, morality, virtue ethics, and utilitarianism. It addresses the challenges to rights nihilism's strong animal rights position, the "kind" argument against animal rights, the problem of predation, and the comparative value of lives
