An examination of "vulnerability" as a key concept in the field of Animal Studies. The chapter locates the term in the context of recent ethical philosophies, including the work of Levinas, Butler, and Cavarero, and critically assesses its uses and limitations in the articulation of pro-animal thought, from Bentham's utilitarianism to the present day.
