Taking animal rights personally

Abstract

Nowadays it is certainly impossible to write any book about animal rights and animal welfare without raising the ire of a subset of readers. An Odyssey with Animals by Adrian Morrison, a professor of behavioral neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine, is likely to be no exception. However, Morrison’s breadth of experience across a wide range of contentious issues in our relationship with animals makes his an unusual book. Whatever side of the fence you believe yourself to be on, after reading his book you will surely come to appreciate that there are many fences and Morrison has worked harder than most to break them down.
