Jack London's 'The Call of The Wild' / Animal Rights

Abstract: A 7 page paper on the issue of wild versus domesticated animals in Jack London's novel. Comparing London's description of the treatment of Buck with contemporary articles on sled dogs, the paper argues that if it is impossible to fully domesticate a sled dog and treat him humanely because of the work they are required to perform and the life they are required to lead, then it would be better for all concerned not to domesticate them at all. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
