ABSTRACT
This chapter reimagines the historically contentious relationship between critical disability studies and critical animal studies, centering on how the two disciplines might work together against injustice. It suggests that there is a meaningful connection between ableism and speciesism, at least insofar as the denial of rights to disabled people and non-human animals, leaving both disabled people and non-human animals excluded from protection under most theories of justice. The chapter explores the relationship between better-known disabilities and the use of service animals, as well as disability in non-human animals to illustrate this connection.
