The Animal Rights Movement in America: From Compassion to Respect (Social Movements Past and Present)

Rating:
Summary: A good survey of the animal rights movement
Review: This book is a must-read for those who wish to understand the origins and evolution of the animals rights movement. While the authors are definitely biased toward animal rights, they remain objective when discussing the differences among the organizations and their leaders, giving the reader an easy understanding of the many facets of the movement. The only thing missing here is the range of voices and the passion of the individuals, as the authors rely heavily on landmark philosophical books and not at all on interviews.

Rating:
Summary: Hated it
Review: This book is poorly written. If you were very sick the medicine you would use to get better was tested on an animal would you rather die than get better? Hunting is ok. If people didn't hunt then the animals would overpopulate and die. But people don't know this. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Review: This is an excellent book- intelligent, thoughtful and interesting. For the person who wrote from washington- get educated and stop relying on false assumptions regarding hunting and the meat industry. I reccommend this book to anyone. Thanks!
