It provides a philosophical middle ground between extreme views on each side of the animal rights issue.\u003cb\u003e—Temple Grandin, author of \u003cem\u003eAnimals in Translation \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Animals Make Us Human\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe live in a messy and imperfect world, as Kathy Rudy puts it, where it's often difficult to always do the ‘right’ thing for nonhuman animals or, in some cases, even know what the ‘right’ decision is. People who truly love animals come to the table with different views because of our complicated, ambiguous, and frustrating relationships with other beings. \u003cem\u003eLoving Animals\u003c\/em\u003e is a wide-ranging and challenging book that deserves a broad readership. Dr. Rudy reviews different schools of thought and argues convincingly that sacredness, spirituality, and love must be central themes in animal advocacy. The work of love allows us to work together and move forward even in the harshest of times. I agree. Read this book and share it widely and I'm sure numerous animals will thank us for doing this.\u003cb\u003e—Marc Bekoff, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Emotional Lives of Animals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLoving Animals\u003c\/em\u003e, Kathy Rudy offers a refreshing new perspective on animal advocacy that is intellectually coherent, emotionally satisfying, and beautifully written. Some of Rudy’s conclusions regarding how we should treat the animals in our lives are radical, and yet they make perfect sense. This book is a treat for both head and heart, and parts of it will spin your head around.\u003cb\u003e—Hal Herzog, author of \u003cem\u003eSome We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It’s So Hard To Think Straight About Animals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A Change of Heart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
