Chapter 1. Introduction: Rights for Whom? -- Chapter 2. Theriocide and Homicide -- Chapter 3. Hunting Worlds Turned Upside Down: Paulus Potter's Life of a Hunter -- Chapter 4. On the Geohistory of Justiciable Animals: Was Britain a Deviant Case? -- Chapter 5. Hogarth's Patriotic Animals: Bulldogs, Beef, Brittania! -- Chapter 6. Gallous Stories or Dirty Deeds? Representing Parricide in J.M. Synge's Playboy of the Western World Playboy of the Western World -- Chapter 7. Is Theriocide Murder?

Murdering Animals confronts the speciesism underlying the disparate social censures of homicide and "theriocide" (the killing of animals by humans), and as such, is a plea to take animal rights seriously. Its substantive topics include the criminal prosecution and execution of justiciable animals in early modern Europe; images of hunters put on trial by their prey in the upside-down world of the Dutch Golden Age; the artist William Hogarth's patriotic depictions of animals in 18th Century London; and the playwright J.M. Synge's representation of parricide in fin de siecle Ireland. Combining insights from intellectual history, the history of the fine and performing arts, and what is known about today's invisibilised sites of animal killing, Murdering Animals inevitably asks: should theriocide be considered murder? With its strong multi- and interdisciplinary approach, this work of collaboration will appeal to scholars of social and species justice in animal studies, criminology, sociology and law.
