Empty Cages is a non-threatening, courteous but uncompromising book that explains animal rights to ordinary Americans and invites them to join in the struggle for animal liberation.

"Being kind to animals is not enough.  Avoiding cruelty is not enough.  Housing animals in more comfortable, larger cages is not enough.  Whether we exploit animals to eat, to wear, to entertain us, or to learn, the truth of animal rights requires empty cages, not larger cages."  Tom Regan
