  • Summary

    With a particular focus on increasing discourse regarding intersectionality/ interconnectedness between oppression of humans and mistreatment of animals, this chapter evaluates arguments asserted by scholars, such as Justin Marceau in Beyond Cages, who are critical of increasing prosecutions and sentencing for crimes harming animals. The chapter also addresses the manner in which attitudes toward humans’ moral distinctiveness may influence reactions to these sorts of anti-carceral arguments, and it explores how the animal protection movement’s attraction to stronger criminalization reveals challenges for basing animal legal personhood arguments on intelligent animals’ cognitive capacities.
