It's sad that Bekoff's writing is quite repetitive, because if the text was better edited I would clearly give it 4 or 4.5 stars.
The idea of the book is essential to our modern society: we are treating animals as objects, denied of their rights as beings that feel, but I feel sometimes the point is weakened by Bekoff's insistence in repeating some explanations and ideas that he literally just mentioned a couple of pages before. So it gets a tad tiring.
Still, as a biologist myself, I appreciate Bekoff's attempt to defend the very same animals that compose our 'study objects' (yes, that's how they are called in our field). I just hoped it was better constructed.
