My clients have always been a combination of experts who already have book deals with large publishers, and entrepreneurs who say Why on Earth would I let them take so much of my potential profits? Sometimes the goal is indeed to get a big NY house to publish your book, as perhaps your career trajectory requires that.

Sir Paul McCartney, children's book author Geoff Dunbar, and children's book artist Philip Ardagh have created a beautiful book with an ever-timely message.". There's a lot missing in that description, such as the surprising death of Wirral's mother, Sugartail, at the beginning of the book. Or any vegan message.

You wouldn't expect Pollan or Oprah to deliver a vegan or animal rights message and they didn't. Alicia Silverstone was on the show as a spokesperson for the health benefits and other benefits of veganism. And I won't say she's not a "real vegan," as I'm not the vegan police. Nothing wrong with any of that.

The good news is that if you know someone who needs to be schooled on all of the sordid details of factory farming, and appreciates good writing, this is a great book. Also, if, like me, you know someone who appreciates the things we do with language to mask the reality of our behavior, this is a great book. Not great, but good.

Or, open to change, he can take the message in the ensuing pages to heart, let it shift his mind and stir his soul, and thus begin, right now, his advance toward freedom for all species (7)." Do animals have rights? Do human beings have duties toward them regardless of whether they have rights? What kind do we have?

Those are the final words of the book. We can stop using animals and "allocate resources" to educate Homo sapiens worldwide to change their relationship to the animals around them. But for now, we have a book that describes how we got here and what we might do. Now we just need to step in a different direction.

I've been having a difficult time blogging both here and at Animal Rights & AntiOppression lately because I feel like my thoughts are like " Groundhog Day." There are few animal rights stories in the news. I confirmed my weird personal right to consume chicken." People are talking. And acting. That's respect.

As for categories, I never got that one right, either. It facilitates discussion when the most recent comments are right there on the home page and all you have to do is click on them to chime in. Big fail here for Animal Person. I didn't do the right thing for Animal Person. Lesson #14 Be careful what you promise.

Jeff Masson's new book didn't cause me to unravel, but I did learn a lot about our friends and coevolvers, Canis familiaris. This Masson book ( here are all of them) is for Benjy, who was supposed to be a service dog but who was, shall we say, less than enthusiastic about the career choice that was made for him.
