    Described by Jeffrey Masson as "the single best introduction to animal rights ever written, Tom Regan's EMPTY CAGES stands as an essential guide to the ongoing animal rights debate. In a style at once simple and elegant, Regan dispels the negative image of animal rights advocates as portrayed by the mass media, unmasks the fraudulent rhetoric of "humane treatment" favored by animal exploiters in both familiar and less well-documented contexts, and explains why existing laws function to legitimize institutional cruelty. In so doing, Regan invites readers to join the struggle for animal rights—one person at a time, one step at a time. Written by the leading philosophical spokesperson for animal rights, Tom Regan's shocking exposé of animal abuse makes an essential and lasting contribution to how animal rights is viewed in the United States and around the world. 
    "Tom Regan delivers a searing indictment of the way we treat animals in the world we have made for ourselves, and presents a trenchant case that animals have or should have rights in the same way that human beings have."—J. M. Coetzee, winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize for Literature 
    "Every so often a book is written that is destined to change the way people think. Tom Regan has written just such a book. EMPTY CAGES is compelling because it is logical, rational, and written in an elegantly simple style. Please buy this book, read it, and tell your friends about it. Everyone needs a copy on their bookshelf."—Jane Goodall 
    "Tom Regan's EMPTY CAGES is a powerful call for justice on one of the most urgent issues human society faces. Calmly, lucidly, he asks readers to confront the miserable conditions we have inflicted on animals, leaving us with three choices: find a flaw in the argument, work for change, or throw the book away and try to forget it. The indelible force of Regan's argument makes the third course very difficult."—Martha C. Nussbaum, University of Chicago

    For centuries, humans have gazed into the night sky, believing that what they saw—stars, planets, glowing nebulae—was all there was. But as our tools for exploring the universe improved, scientists began to notice something strange. The visible matter in galaxies simply wasn’t enough to explain how those galaxies moved and behaved. Something unseen, something invisible, seemed to be exerting a powerful influence on everything. 
    In the 1930s, astronomer Fritz Zwicky was studying a group of galaxies known as the Coma Cluster. When he measured how fast the galaxies within the cluster were moving, he realized they were traveling far too quickly to be held together by the visible matter alone. According to the laws of gravity, the cluster should have torn itself apart. Zwicky proposed that some kind of “missing mass” must be present, something that added gravitational force without emitting light. He called it “dark matter.” At the time, his idea was mostly ignored. 
    Decades later, in the 1970s, American astronomer Vera Rubin provided even more compelling evidence. She was studying the rotation of spiral galaxies, expecting that stars farther from the center would orbit more slowly, just as planets farther from the sun move more slowly in our solar system. But that wasn’t what she found. The outer stars were moving just as fast as those closer in, a finding that didn’t make sense if only visible matter was involved. Her work suggested that some unseen material—something with mass—was surrounding the galaxies in large halos, exerting gravitational pull and affecting their motion. This was dark matter at work.
