The book was an interesting look into animal welfare in farming. I am glad for the descriptions of the practices, but some of the inclusions (such as information from PETA, which has been known to falsify claims) detract from the overall message. Some passages struck me as particularly dated as well, with language around human suffering throw in for shock value, especially mentions of sexual abuse and slavery. I wouldn't recommend this book to a friend, for those reasons, but I did gain a lot from it. I don't think I can take the word of the author as fact, but I do think his argument was persuasive.
