Whatever might have been true of the past, the production of fur is now morally problematic in terms of both necessity and suffering. There is no necessity in killing animals for nonessential purposes, such as adornment, fashion, or vanity. The argument for utility simply doesn't hold up. Alternative clothing is now readily available, enduring, and less costly. Worse still, since we know that the animals exploited are sentient, causing them suffering or making animals liable to suffering is arguably intrinsically wrong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe purpose of this volume is to open up and advance further the ethical, political, and specifically legislative endeavors now moving at pace and to encourage the anti-fur movement. That said, there is much to learn from this book about the history, culture, and political arguments for and against fur that should interest scholars and students, as well as those engaged on either side of the debate. It is not common for academics to engage with pressing and contentious moral issues, and we pay tribute to our eighteen contributors for leading the way.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Linzey is director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics and has been a member of the faculty of theology in the University of Oxford for twenty-eight years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eClair Linzey is deputy director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics and professor of animal theology at the Graduate Theological Foundation.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 24, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48676161978617,"sku":"9781666937947","price":186.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/p4eB8xDM7_9781666937947.webp?v=1784309931","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-ethics-of-fur-religious-cultural-and-legal-perspectives-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
