The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them by Wayne Pacelle

4.0

If you care about animals being treated humanely, this is the book to read. It was really well-written and very interesting. It was split into three parts. The first section was all about the bond between humans and animals. It included a lot of research about their similarities to us and stories about amazing things they've done. The second section focused on "the betrayal of the bond" and the horrible things humans have done (and are still doing) to animals. This section was hard to read, but was filled with important information that I didn't know much about before. Finally, the third section focused on creating a more humane world for animals. Pacelle wrote both in general about things we can do to create a more humane economy and more specifically about what regular people can do. I would definitely recommend it!! It was very convicting and made me want to do more than I already do.
