This book is fairly sexist and classist, but given that it was written by a middle/upper class man in 1908 I guess I shouldn't be surprised by that. 

I can see why this book became a classic, but I didn't really love it myself. It was a bit weird and quite disjointed.

The animals eat animals and animal products. Don't think about the implications too much or it could be hard to read.
