Here is a list of academic and popular journals, publications, and
articles that offer a broad spectrum of perspectives on animal
well-being - and help to elucidate the contradictions, problems, and
possible solutions in advocating for animals. Note: not all of these
authors, scholars, or researchers necessarily represent our collective
viewpoint(s) at RAW, but we believe that reading widely and engaging
critically with a variety of opinions is imperative for being savvy
advocates. Please feel free to send us your personal favorites to
post - including readings that are controversial and worthy of further
discussion or consideration.
