Eating Animals / Jonathan Safran Foer
It is so nice to find a book that does not solely argue against a meat-based diet for health or ecological reason, but also because such a diet causes terrible suffering. From the factory farms to the slaughter, Eating Animals tells the story of the abuse on which human society is build and sustained. Foer looks at some of the absurd contradictions involved with keeping some animals as pets and eating others, and how an animal-based diet will finish the human race ecologically. This book is beautifully written. |

The Silent Ark / Juliet Gellatley
Written by one of the UK's most ardent and effective vegetarian campaigners, and the person who set up the charity Viva!, this book is a devastating expose on the whole meat industry. With chilling clarity, Gellatley shows how something as seemingly innocuous as a particular food preference is actually responsible for a huge proportion of global environmental destruction and suffering (both animal and human). She argues that the meat culture has to go if the human race wants to have any future at all. |

The Happy Rat / E
Most people believe that rats are just disgusting vermin to be exterminated whereever they are found. But anyone who spends the time getting to know these little creatures, as Kaycee Peta has, will discover that rats are adorable little friends each with a unique personality. The Happy Rat is a compilation of the authors experiences with rats, and presents them in the bigger perspective of veganism and animal rights. A beautiful read. |
