Abstract
Besides looking at how animal rightists and extremists operate, we’ve outlined five interlocking strategies of the larger animal rights community: (1) intimidating university researchers, administrators, donors, and vendors; (2) misrepresenting research; (3) recruiting children; (4) identifying itself with environmentalism; and (5) calling for the recognition of animals as legal persons. It is this last strategy that we want to examine in more depth. It is time to talk specifically of the rights of animals.
