(219) Chapters 7 and 8 engage directly with theories of sovereignty, with Chapter 7 engaging with liberal theorists of animal sovereignty (discussed briefly above), and Chapter 8 arguing that sovereignty itself is a “groundless claim” (62) through which humans declare their superiority over (and thus their right to dominate) animals following their victory over them.	cache/humanimalia-9680.pdf	txt/humanimalia-9680.txt
