I really liked this book. I've read a lot about animal rights etc. but this covered a lot new ground for me personally. And I liked the personal story of his own journey and activism. ( )Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. If you're looking for the best book on this subject, this is not it. Try Omnivore's Dilemma or Eating Animals. The strength of this book is when the author describes his personal journey and experience. The section I found really interesting is where he describes how he pretty much drops everything in his life to focus on animal rights, and becomes the head of a successful advocacy organization. I wish he had gone into more detail on how he did this. This would have been more interesting/helpful than another rehash of animal abuse bad. Note: there are some sections that have graphic depictions of animal abuse - not gratuitous, certainly, but I found these hard to read.

I eat meat, so it definitely makes you take a look at where you choose to shop and what you are willing to turn the other cheek for in order to get cheap or large meats. Cases of abuse and terrible factory farming conditions are examined along with strategies to address issues and improve the quality of life for farmed animals. While I won't be going vegetarian or vegan, I do support policies and producers who commit to healthier and more humane conditions for raising food animals. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This is a wonderful book. One that I wish everyone would read. It is such a passionate book, and quite informative. Nathan has a huge heart for animals, and is dedicated to sharing his experiences and knowledge with anyone willing to have an open heart. I highly recommend this book. I was very glad to have won this through a Library Thing giveaway. A great win! Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. As founder and president of the animal rights group Mercy for Animals, knows a lot about what goes on at commercial farms. His book tells about the terrible conditions animals are put through before they even make it to the dinner table. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on at chicken factories it’s definitely an eye opener. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A compelling look at animal welfare and factory farming in the United States from Mercy For Animals, the leading international force in preventing cruelty to farmed animals and promoting compassionate food choices and policies. Nathan Runkle would have been a fifth-generation farmer in his small midwestern town. Instead, he founded our nation's leading nonprofit organization for protecting factory farmed animals. In Mercy For Animals, Nathan brings us into the trenches of his organization's work; from MFA's early days in grassroots activism, to dangerous and dramatic experiences doing undercover investigations, to the organization's current large-scale efforts at making sweeping legislative change to protect factory farmed animals and encourage compassionate food choices. But this isn't just Nathan's story. Mercy For Animals examines how our country moved from a network of small, local farms with more than 50 percent of Americans involved in agriculture to a massive coast-to-coast industrial complex controlled by a mere 1 percent of our population--and the consequences of this drastic change on animals as well as our global and local environments. We also learn how MFA strives to protect farmed animals in behind-the-scenes negotiations with companies like Nestlé and other brand names--conglomerates whose policy changes can save countless lives and strengthen our planet. Alongside this unflinching snapshot of our current food system, readers are also offered hope and solutions--big and small--for ending mistreatment of factory farmed animals. From simple diet modifications to a clear explanation of how to contact corporations and legislators efficiently, Mercy For Animals proves that you don't have to be a hardcore vegan or an animal-rights activist to make a powerful difference in the lives of animals.
