The Animal Rights Debate: Abolition or Regulation?
Gary Francione 与 Robert Garner 围绕动物权利运动的核心战略分歧展开正式辩论——废除主义（全面终止动物使用）vs. 渐进改良主义（通过福利改革逐步改善）。 Gary Francione and Robert Garner formally debate the central strategic divide in animal rights — abolitionism (ending all animal use) vs. incrementalism (gradual welfare reform toward animal rights).
The Animal Rights Debate (Columbia UP, 2010) stages a structured exchange between two leading but opposed thinkers. Francione argues for abolitionism: that all animal use is morally unjustifiable and incremental welfare reforms merely entrench the property status of animals. Garner defends a sentience-based position: that while the ultimate goal may be the end of animal exploitation, pragmatic welfare reforms within existing political institutions are both morally justified and strategically necessary. The book lays bare the abolition-vs-regulation fault line that continues to define animal rights discourse.
