DESCRIPTION:
"Reading this book now and I think it is great! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who" according to soulytrina. Reading this book now and I think it is great! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to broaden their perspective and are open to getting a better understanding with this type of comparison which is not favorable to many opinions but I find it interesting and moving. Once again, a great read!. Powerful enlightening book Nothing better than this to make you realize that the way we treat animals today is exactly the same way that we used to treat people at time of slavery. We have banned slavery (that kind at least), but this book will show you that we can't continue treating animals in such horrible conditions if we can't treat humans like we did over a century ago.A great book for schools to show kids and young adults what we have done, that we have then banned and what we still do today.The last chapter sa. "Every human MUST read this -" according to A Customer. This book compares human and animal slavery in a way you can never ever forget. The words and pictures are unforgettable. You will feel the feelings of those humans and those animals who are used (and being used now) as slaves.Read this book, and change your life! (it really helps) Many thanks to Amazon.com for recommending this book to me

Considered a seminal book in the fields of Bioethics and Human-Animal Studies, and a classic in the field of humane thought, Marjorie Spiegel's The Dreaded Comparison makes a significant contribution to our efforts to understand the roots of individual and societal violence, tying current cultural practices to the legacy of human bondage, and introducing new and diverse audiences to the history of slavery and institutionalized racism in the United States.
