The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals by Wayne Pacelle
4.0
Whatever naivety was remaining, consider them trashed.
Pacelle writes with purpose and passion. He deftly navigates animal cruelty and animal consumption in general, by narrating his own personal journey as a vegan. Though this isn't the focus of the book, it gives a general perspective on people who choose go down the route. Pacelle tackles the ever growing trafficking of exotic animals, insatiable human nature and a common disregard to everything that is living and that isn't human.
Anecdotes come from all over the world. When attacked by traditionalists bringing culture and/or religion to the argument, Pacelle's own argument is simple - let's evolve.
This is a hard book to read. If one is in touch with the topics discussed in this book, almost nothing comes as a surprise.
