Readership: This book will be of interest to anyone who wishes to understand the animal rights movement in England, the United States and Australia.

Vamsee Juluri, Professor of Media Studies at the University of San Francisco, takes me back to graduate school when he writes of the importance of the stories we tell ourselves in " Use Free Speech to Celebrate Animal Life, Not to Enjoy Their Suffering." They certainly depict cruelty to animals, right? What do you think?

Are people who work in slaughterhouses and who vivisect their fellow sentient beings evil? Is evil something you do but not who you are?
