Overview

Do animal lives matter? In this delicious conversation, leading thinkers Bob Fischer and Dustin Crummett discuss the problems of eating meat and caging animals. Should we test medicines on bunny rabbits? Should we protect polar bears? But if we think animals should be protected, why do we eat them? Our lives are filled with animals. From our restaurant dinners to our pets at home, for better or worse, we cannot avoid moral questions around how we treat animals. If you want to understand the humanity we owe to animals, and you're looking for an accessible, intelligent guide to animal welfare, you'll love this book. Buy it now.
