Departmental Bulletin Paper

Nowadays, many people call themselves animal lovers. Stories of the maltreatment of animals are reported sensationally by the press to attract wide public attention. But all animalsare not paid the same attention: the killing of some animals draws more sympathy than others; the experimentation of some animals arouses more indignation than others.

In this article, I address these questions by critically examining the alleged uniqueness of whales proposed by a whale protec-tionist.
