Critics Review
“Her new book, which focuses on Australian law but also considers the global situation, is an important document and comes at a time when the divide between what consumers expect, based on their growing concern for animal wellbeing, and what they unwittingly support is perhaps more pronounced than ever before.”
– Teya Brooks Pribac * Australasian Animal Studies Association *“Ellis has written a masterful book, which engages with the field of animal law in novel and important ways. The book is ambitious in its breadth: it introduces foundational concepts and key elements of statute and doctrine, while also undertaking advanced critical analysis.”
– A.P.A. Best, Animal Studies Journal 13(1)
