Should animal rightists only argue animal rights?

Sztybel decisively destroys Dr. Katherine Perlo's arguments in the affirmative.


Background

Dr. Sztybel responds to Dr. Katherine Perlo's arguments that it would be wrong for animal rights advocates prominently to feature arguments such as meat-eating is unhealthy and environmentally disastrous, and that animal experimentation does not work. Like Professor Gary L. Francione's arguments against anti-cruelty laws, Dr. Perlo's reasoning needs to be widely discredited because it obstructs very important paths of meaningful progress for nonhuman animals.
