Intersecting Justice: Animal Rights and Social Movements

This chapter explores the complexities of animal rights within the broader context of social justice, particularly highlighting the intersections with feminism, socialism, and disability rights. It challenges prevailing narratives of dependency that justify animal exploitation and critiques mainstream animal rights activism for its inadequacies in addressing systemic issues like racism. Ultimately, the discussion advocates for a more inclusive approach to social justice that recognizes the interconnected struggles of marginalized communities and the urgency of animal liberation.
