"Are All Species Created Equal?" and Other Questions Shaping Wildlife Law

by Douglas O. Linder (HARVARD ENV. LAW REVIEW 157-200 (1988))

I wrote this piece early in my academic career.  It's obviously a bit dated, but provides a perspective on how the landscape of animal welfare/animal rights law looked in the late 1980s.And some of my observations, I think, are still timely. --DOL
