Readership: This book will be of interest to anyone who wishes to understand the animal rights movement in England, the United States and Australia.

Vamsee Juluri, Professor of Media Studies at the University of San Francisco, takes me back to graduate school when he writes of the importance of the stories we tell ourselves in " Use Free Speech to Celebrate Animal Life, Not to Enjoy Their Suffering." They certainly depict cruelty to animals, right? What do you think?

First, I do think people can either be desensitized to the rampant cruelty depicted in Earthlings, or so terrified of what might happen if they let it affect them that they simply shut down. Are people who work in slaughterhouses and who vivisect their fellow sentient beings evil? Tags: Ethics Language.
