Book by Scully Matthew

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Dominion explores the many ways our society has turned away from animals and created a climate of cruelty and exploitation toward them, and the justifications mankind uses to maintain its dominion over animals. Matthew Scully believes that our treatment of animals is a measure of our humanity and his exposure of the world of factory farming, as well as the eloquence of his writing and the penetration of his arguments, makes this the definitive work on the subject of animal rights. A powerful and moving statement of the obligations we owe to the animals, deeply humane, grounded in religious and scientific beliefs, Dominion is a masterpiece of investigative journalism and a catalyst for animal rights. Dominion is a life-changing work that is a call to arms for anyone who has anything to do with animals (and that includes eating them).
