Abstract

Consideration of fox hunting in the UK is used to argue that the complexities of negotiation between multiple and competing considerations, associated with multiculturalist theory, are probably an ineradicable feature of any practical animal politics within a liberal context. And in this respect, the analysis is sympathetic to the familiar defense of multiculturalism as a component part of animal politics set out by Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka. However, insofar as the question of fox hunting also focuses attention strongly upon cruelty, it departs from the familiar suspicion (which they share) that a cruelty-focused discourse must also tend to reinforce anthropocentric norms.
