| False Advertising, Animals, and Ethical Consumption | Carter Dillard | 10 Animal L. 25 (2004) |
In light of the fact that today's consumers often want their products to be created in the most environmentally-, globally-, and animal-friendly ways possible, unethical sellers sometimes succumb to the incentive to persuade consumers that goods were created more ethically than they actually were.

| ON THE "NECESSARY SUFFERING" OF NONHUMAN ANIMALS | Michael Allen Fox | 3 Animal L. 25 (1997) | This article extends Gary Francione's analysis of these concepts from Rain without Thunder within the context of animal experimentation. Michael argues that Francione's work leads us to the conclusion that the notions of necessary and unnecessary suffering are empty of meaning, and no significant difference exists between them. That humans cause animals to suffer in abundance is reality. That their suffering is necessary in order to fulfill human purposes is fantasy. |
