It is a must for all those who want to understand why we should treat animals ethically."Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace"So radical, so morally unsettling, that you have to take your courage in both hands to read it. But read it you should."Raimond Gaita, author of The Philosopher's Dog"A deeply moving book that calls on us to reconsider our relationship to animals and to other humans and ecosystems we depend on."Sally Haslanger, author of Resisting Reality"[A]n inspirational and comprehensive book on animal ethics: concise yet packed with an impressive amount of potent information."Leonardo Reviews
