Do Animals Have Rights?

Where do you stand on justice? Where do you stand on justice beyond humans? Through a look at the writings of scientists and philosophers as well as the exploration of some case law, participants will explore the arguments and viewpoints regarding the rights (or lackthereof) of animals. Also, to provide a framework for discussion, an overview on how animals have been viewed throughout Western history and how they are regarded under contemporary American law will be presented.
