"A tough but fair-minded revelation of how mass production of animals for food and other purposes results in cruelty that usually remains hidden from sight."

Why Animals Matter: The Case for Animal Protection offers a concise yet complete overview of the problems of animal suffering. Authors Erin E. Williams and Margo DeMello examine industries that exploit animals—factory farms, experimentation, entertainment, the pet industry, fur, and sport hunting. The authors consider the environmental and social justice effects of animal exploitation.
Highly informative yet reader-friendly, this book also includes positive, inspiring stories of rescued animals.
