In this comprehensive open-access book, Angela K. Martin delves deep into the intricate realms of human and animal vulnerability, exploring their significance from a moral standpoint. She meticulously defines universal and situational human vulnerability, setting the stage for examining whether sentient nonhuman animals can also be classified as vulnerable beings. Martin proceeds to examine three distinct contexts of animal vulnerability: animals used as a food source, animals subjected to research, and the plight of wild animals.

Through her insightful analysis, Martin sheds light on the ethical implications of human actions and attitudes towards animals. She challenges the notion of animals as mere resources or objects of exploitation and emphasizes their inherent worth and dignity. She also raises important questions about the responsibilities we hold towards animals and the need for their protection and welfare.

This book is a valuable resource for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between humans and animals. It provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing animal vulnerability and encourages readers to consider the moral implications of our interactions with other species. By promoting empathy, compassion, and a deeper understanding of animal rights, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the ethical treatment of animals and the pursuit of a more harmonious coexistence with the natural world.
