Sexuality and eroticism among males in Moslem societies

This edition also contains six new appendices. Three reproduce relevant passages from the 1911 Protection of Animals Act; from the Declaration of Helsinki (1964); and from the Delaney Amendment (1958). Further appendices provide a brief review of Albert Schweitzer and the ethics of his "reverence for life", and a discussion of the biblical tradition in shaping and defining relationships between man and animals. However, it is the first appendix that provides a particularly chilling comment on contemporary history, as Paton reviews the rise of terrorist animal liberation organizations and the use of violence in the name of animal rights. The book ranges widely and provides a broad review of the use of animals in medical research, and the techniques employed to minimize distress. It concludes that the prospect of animal experiments involving no more suffering than that experienced by pets and other domestic animals, is a real possibility, one that would re-define the relationship between man and mouse as that of human trustee and animal companion.
