It makes folks uncomfortable to think that we treat animals as slaves, but that's just because they want to continue doing it. But here it is. The comparison is clear. Everything from the tools used to oppress people and animals to the language around their oppression have clear connection.

This book blew my mind when I read it for my environmental ethics class circa 2000. Now that I'm more educated on these topics, it just felt familiar and I wanted deeper analysis and broader data. This is definitely a book that everyone should read, to see how so many of our industries (food, cosmetics, chemicals) use, harm, and kill animals. But this book should not be the end of our learning. I would love it if Spiegel wrote an updated version and compared how things have evolved since this publication.
