Animal's Matter - A Book Review

"Humans cannot continue to be at war with the rest of the world. The fragility of the natural order - the delicate balance of life - requires that we all work harmoniously so as not to destroy nature's wholeness, goodness, and generosity. Humans are a part of nature, not apart from nature." - Marc Beckoff

Beckoff has convinced me to give up all meat, fish and poultry. It is because of his compelling arguments in Animals Matter that I will not be eating turkey on Thanksgiving. Asking such questions as, "Why do we interfere in wild animals' lives?" and supplying such facts as, "Animals get the blues in zoos.", Beckoff convinced me we should be treating animals as living beings who feel emotional and physical pain.

Did you know that we could feed the world with the grain we feed cows? WE COULD END WORLD HUNGER!!!! Of course he also discusses the hormones that are injected in animals that are used for food and the health problems that can cause in humans.

Animals Matter is worth the read.
