(Peta Tait, Animal Studies Journal, Vol. 5 (1), 2016) A comprehensive history of human attitudes and actions in relation to the welfare of performing animals from Roman times to the present day. As such, it reveals a great deal about human behavior; attitudes that evolve, attitudes that never change and the motivations that lie behind what we say, write and do. ... It has been meticulously researched and it is very well written. It is also thought-provoking. (John Webster, Animal Welfare, Vol. 24 (3), August, 2015)
