Title: Animal Abuse, Animal Rights and Species Justice

Summary: In this paper I want to introduce criminologists who are unfamiliar with green criminology to the topic of animal abuse and speciesism. I will give an overview of its history and contributions I regard as important in this particular field, provide empirical examples and point to theoretical discussions which are central in the analysis of animal abuse, whether legal or illegal. Finally I will suggest where the field could be heading in the future. For a nonspeciesist criminology: Animal abuse as an object of study, published in 1999 in Criminology, Piers Beirne established that animal abuse should be positioned within criminology. Beirne emphasises here that animal abuse should be studied because it is a signifier of actual or potential interhuman conflict, (2) an existing object of criminal law, (3) an item in the utilitarian calculus on the avoidance of pain and suffering, (4) a violation of rights, and (5) one of several oppressions identified by feminism as an interconnected whole.
