The conclusion provides a brief synopsis of the preceding chapters in the context of what the philosopher Jürgen Habermas (1992, 15, 51; 2002, 149) calls the “Judeo-Christian understanding of history in terms of salvation”. It discusses religious and “spiritual” approaches to animal advocacy more generally, concluding that each is vulnerable to appropriation and transformation into something alien to the original. I propose the relish of salvation as a preventive measure against appropriation, and its capacity to promote care and hope.
