loved it!
A heart wrenching book. The worst was the bit about the lobster. Informative. Provides a number of ways in which we can live better with animals.
This was an interesting enough book. It brought up some important topics of animal welfare. The book seemed to be targeted to students.
I thought there would be more stories about animals helping humans and each other...guess I need to watch Animal Planet for that.
Good explanation of the rights of animals as living beings. Highly recommended.

“A reduction of meat consumption by only 10% would result in about 12 million more tons of grain for human consumption. This additional grain could feed all of the humans across the world who starve to death each year- about 60 million people!”
