Do animals have legal rights?

Kevin Grecksch, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the CSLS, recently discussed the question of whether animals have legal rights in a podcast (https://oxplore.org/question-detail/are-humans-more-important-than-other-animals#1943) aimed at young people for Oxplore.

Oxplore (https://oxplore.org/) is an initiative by the University of Oxford and aims to engage those from 11 to 18 years with debates and ideas that go beyond what is covered in the classroom. Big questions tackle complex ideas across a wide range of subjects and draw on the latest research undertaken at Oxford. Oxplore aims to realise aspirations, promote broader thinking and stimulate intellectual curiosity.
