This book didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but it was full of information that plenty of others unfortunately don't.
This is an excellent and easily digestible, examination of biology and the ethics sourounding non-human animals. Very interesting, engaging, and practical. I wouldn't give it to kids under 13 unless they are very focused and mature for their age. It is an easy read for adults who are new to philosophy.
This little book talks about animal welfare and rights, mainly in the field of research, education and conservation. It doesn't contain much information but poses questions for the readers to think about and reflect. Although the way of writing looks like preaching to the believers, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more the ethics aspect of animal use in research. And ask yourself the questions posed by the book.
Good explanation of the rights of animals as living beings. Highly recommended.
I hope as many people as possible can read a little from this book and our world will change significantly!
All I have to say is please read this book.
This was an interesting enough book. It brought up some important topics of animal welfare. The book seemed to be targeted to students.
In a world where so much progress has been made against unfairness, Bekoff reminds us that humans are not the only persons on the planet. For the sake of all sentient life, this book should be widely read. More comments may be found at: Sects and Violence in the Ancient World.
loved it!
I wish a book such as Animals Matter existed when I was in middle school, or high school, or in college. Although written in a manner that can be understood by a young teenager who enjoys reading, learning and thinking, this compact (about 165 pages) book would be enlightening and literally thought-provoking to any seeker of knowledge and a better world in terms of relating to other beings. Bekoff, an animal behavior researcher, poses open-ended questions, presents a variety of viewpoints with c...
The book certainly has good information but there's not much in the way of interesting writing. Too pedantic for my taste. Written for a younger audience, but why should they have to suffer through this kind of writing?
I thought there would be more stories about animals helping humans and each other...guess I need to watch Animal Planet for that.
This is an excellent book. Filled with great information that will make the reader really stop and think about how animals are treated and how they should be treated. So much good info and lots of quotes that I had to highlight. One of my favorites is about being honest with children about how animals are treated in our society. The author writes "If we do not tell it like it is, important messages are lost." He provides thought-provoking insight, but also proposes questions that get you thinkin...
Excellent, changes emotions about animals.
This book should be apart of every school curriculum. I feel so bad for so many years not really knowing or understanding what really goes on. Vegan since 2012 ♥
