Rating: - A witty and thoroughly entertaining book
So much nonsense is written about animal rights, especially in the media, but hopefully this enlightening book will help redress the balance.
What do animal rights campaigners believe? Why is fox-hunting and vivisection wrong? And why should people abandon flesh eating? Salt answers all these questions with his typical good humour and intelligence. Never getting bogged down by philosophical arguments or sentimentality, he refutes every argument advanced against animal rights.
Essential reading for anyone involved in campaigning for animal rights or just curious to know what animal rights is really about.
Also highly recommended is "The Savour of Salt: A Henry Salt Anthology" edited by George and Willene Hendrick.
