Reviews:

"Animal Crisis presents the reader with the most thorough research into the ways in which animal lives are understood. The arguments are illustrated with stories of individual animals or groups of animals who have been cruelly treated. It is a must for all those who want to understand why we should treat animals ethically."
~ Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace

"So radical, so morally unsettling, that you have to take your courage in both hands to read it. But read it you should."
~ Raimond Gaita, author of The Philosopher’s Dog

"A deeply moving book that calls on us to reconsider our relationship to animals and to other humans and ecosystems we depend on."
~ Sally Haslanger, author of Resisting Reality
