Summary
This chapter provides an overview of the competing camps that comprise the animal protection movement -- for example, animal rights vs. animal welfare -- and explains that the common denominator between these groups is an interest in stronger criminal laws. The introduction also introduces the theme of prosecutors as agents of stagnation, not reform.
