If you're an animal lover then you'll probably enjoy this book, if not then it's argument no matter how persuasive, won't mean much. There are a lot of anecdotes and most of them are very compelling, to me if nothing else. At some point though you're either going to agree that animals are much closer to us with personality and emotions, than we care to treat them, or you won't care.
All our medicines are treated for safety on animals before being used on humans, but when they prove to be effective they remain human only. That's the crux of this argument, so gently and beautifully presented.
Of course I already think we should treat them better. But not fully on board with rabid activism. Two wrongs don't make a right after all. Not sure where this thought is leading.
Good book, worth a read.
