For many people "animal rights" suggests campaigns against factory farms, vivisection or other aspects of our woeful treatment of animals.

eloquent and extremely thought-provoking astonishingly free of sentimentality while still brimming with passion Books like this - meticulously thought-out, very attractively reasoned, with no hint of screed - do inestimable good in their incremental way, and Zoopolis is among the best Ive ever read, mainly because it avoids the pitfalls of extremism that would make it look untenable to the unconverted.
