Animal ethics is a subject that arises more and more interest and more and more people are questioning themselves from a logical point of view the way they relate to other animals. In recent years, publications that propose an alternative way of life with regard to animals have prolifera- ted, such as philosophical essays, cookbooks or children’s stories. Howe- ver, there is a literary gap between works addressed to children and works addressed to adults. Adolescence is precisely the vital stage in which the most important changes take place in the human mind, the way we con- ceive the world also changes importantly.

The Voice of Animals intends to fill in this literary void, it is an essay aimed at adolescents that promotes reflection through critical thinking on different issues related to animal ethics. Through simple questions, it presents some of the most common themes that arise in adolescence when we ponder over the lives of animals, both in freedom and in capti- vity. With an educational purpose, it also raises a series of didactic pro- posals through education in moral values and the promotion of critical thinking.

Implemented with color pictures by Sara Ramirez, this book has also counted with the collaboration of multiple teachers, students and alumni who have proposed suitable ways of presenting these issues to teenagers.

They are high school teachers. Aware of the importance of dealing with animal ethics also in the educational field, they began, more than ten years ago, to implement teacher training courses and from there Aula Animal bloomed, an education project based on promoting animal respect, these project has included multiple talks and workshops aimed at teachers, stu- dents and families in recent years, in addition to coordinating other educa- tional projects. According to the authors, both education as a transformati- ve tool and the promotion of critical thinking are key aspects in the society in which we live. The Voice of Animals is the result of more than ten years of experiences promoting respecting animals in a didactic background.
