Nota d'usoIl termine corretto per indicare una persona che sostiene i diritti degli animali non è animalist, ma animal rights supporter: He's an animal rights supporter, è un animalista (non He's an animalist). Esiste anche la locuzione animal rights activist, che si riferisce a un animalista che lotta concretamente per i diritti degli animali. Il termine animalist viene usato per indicare un artista il cui soggetto sono gli animali, o, in filosofia, per indicare l'animalità insita nell'uomo.English-Italian dictionary > -animalist o animal rights supporter?-
