I'm doing a research paper on animal rights. For part of the paper I
need to cite academic sources. I'm having trouble finding articles on
my topic. I need an article from a scientist about or analyzing the
book "Next of Kin" by Roger Fouts. Also the same thing on the book
"When Elephants Weep" by Jeffrey Masson. If you can only find an
article on one of them that is fine, one is better than none. My
thesis has to do with utilitarianism and animal rights, any articles
that deal with that in the context of either book is a plus.

I met Roger Fouts briefly when he lived in Norman, Oklahoma. He's a remarkable man.

I couldn't find anything very lengthy for you. Here's a brief and
rather negative commentary on "Next of Kin":
