Thanks for another good book recommendation. I have a whole shelf of animal welfare books, I’ll add this one to my other latest rec, “Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals.”

Thanks for the comments everyone – glad to hear that others will be checking out this book. It took me a while to get through because it’s hard to read about the horrible things that happen to animals, but overall it’s an uplifting and inspiring. The book would be a great introduction to animal welfare issues and how to get involved, too. Happy reading! 🙂

Thank you for the thoughtful review, Megan. I found the book to be a very enlightening read as well and am elated to see these issues being discussed more and more these days.

Thanks for this review, Megan. I will definitely check this book out. People always ask, “what are your reasons for going vegan” and my favorite response is, “All of them.” Always good to see people taking a holistic look at the issue.

Thanks for recommending this book. It sounds like a must-read.

The connection between animal welfare and sustainability is what first turned me vegetarian. Compassion for animals – and concern for my own health – eventually lead me to go Vegan.

Re: interconnected issues, I would add fitness to the list, which is my own hobby horse. The damage we’re doing to our bodies is a by-product of the damage we’re doing to the environment.
