Telling Tails: The Promises And Pitfalls Of Language And Narratives In Animal Advocacy Efforts, Angela Lee

Animal Law Review

Using a feminist theoretical perspective and drawing on exam­ples from Canada and the United States, this Article considers the promises and pitfalls of language and narrative in the con­text of animal advocacy efforts.

However, it is …

In analyzing Newcomb, this Comment discusses the case facts in Part I, before laying out the argu­ments heard-and decisions rendered-by the trial and appel­late courts in Part II.
