It moves considerably beyond the debate that has traditionally dominated the discourse of animal abuse - the link between one-on-one interpersonal violence and animal abuse - and towards those institutionalised forms of animal abuse which are routine, everyday, socially acceptable and invisibilised. Chapters from expert contributors raise issues such as: the use of animals as edibles; vivisection; animal sexual assault; animals used in sport and hunting; animal trafficking; the use of animals by youth gangs, by other groups and in war; species extinction; and the passivity of national and international organisations in combating animal abuse. The Handbook is a unique text: it is essential reading for students, researchers, academics, activists and policy makers involved in understanding and preventing animal abuse UR - https://ezproxy.mef.edu.tr/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-43183-7 ER -
