Il maiale che cantava alla luna. La vita emotiva degli animali da fattoria

I couldn't concentrate on this book to the degree that I should have done. I find it so hard to read about how we abuse animals via our factory farming practices. I found Masson's approach overly anthropomorphic at times. I don't believe that most farm animals seem less emotional to us just because w Leggi tutto

>>TRIGGER WARNINGS: Animal abuse. The Pig Who Sang to the Moon is a beautiful testament to the lives of the voiceless millions of farmed animals who are cruelly hurt and killed every day.

Fui vegetariana durante 4 anos e há mais de 1 ano que não consumo qualquer alimento de origem animal, mas mesmo assim afirmo, sem qualquer hesitação ou dúvida, que a maioria dos veganos são extremis Leggi tutto

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I often don’t like animal rights books with little anecdotal stories because I’m afraid they won’t be believable.
