For a long time, the culture shaped by Christianity has regarded humans as the "crown of creation" and derived an almost unrestricted right to use animals from its own superiority. However, the Bible refers to animals as "fellow creatures" – what does this imply for today? Are the oppression and liberation of animals comparable to other forms of oppression and liberation? Bernd Kappes explores the questions surrounding responsible treatment of animals and brings together biblical-theological, philosophical, scientific, ethical, and political perspectives in a clear and accessible manner. This is for anyone who no longer wishes to support the barbarity of industrial animal use and wants to explore the question from a Christian perspective. With a contribution from Jane Goodall.
