Casting a critical gaze over the exploitation of animals in agriculture,
fashion, and entertainment, this manifesto investigates Canada`s
antiquated laws for such industries as the fur trade, seal hunting, the
Calgary Stampede, puppy mills, horse slaughter, and the virtually
unregulated vivisection industry. The book advocates an abolitionist
agenda; promotes veganism as a personal and political commitment; shows
the economic, environmental, and health costs of animal exploitation;
and presents animal rights as a social justice issue.
