One thing I hate about some books like this – the ending. This book I found interesting, talking about why we eat some animals and not others and such. I did learn a lot (like people spend a ton of money to swim with dolphins and try to heal all kinds of things – those poor dolphins!) And the link between animal cruelty and serial killers is not really there (I always heard this one and the data doesn’t seem to support it. And a lot of people who are cruel to animals as kids are not serial killers….). Very interesting, but the end is kind of like we are all hypocrites except for the “radical” guy who actually lives in line with his beliefs – he is vegan – OMG! – and doesn’t kill animals – he will take them out of his house if he doesn’t want them in there and stuff like that. Crazy…the end of the book also tried to downplay veganism as a solution to a lot of the hypocrisy people have with their feelings about animals, like it is too hard and no one actually is vegan so why bother? The end of the book is just like we are all hypocrites so why bother? Just do whatever you want. Eat what you want, love whichever specific animals you want and whatever. Don’t even try and be more in line with your beliefs or think about it. It made me very angry. I’m sorry but taking a whole book to point out how bad something is, or how we shouldn’t do something, or how inconsistent something is and then being all eh whatever! Is a cop out. Yes it might not be what the majority of people want to hear, but come on! If you are presenting an argument then do it! Don’t chicken out at the end because you personally don’t want to live up to what you just said, or don’t want people to be upset by what you said or whatever your reason is for not following your own advice. Seriously I do not get it. How is whatever let’s just keep things the way they are even though I just wrote 300 pgs about how bad they are any good. Other than the ending I thought it was a good book.
