The Animal Lover's Guide to Changing the World is the inspiring, accessible, and empowering book for everyone who loves animals and wants to live a more animal-friendly life, even if they aren't ready to join a movement or give up bacon.
With more than 7.5 billion people on the planet, wildlife is going extinct at the fastest rate since the dinosaurs. Three to four million dogs and cats are killed in shelters every year; billions of chickens, pigs, and cows are killed for food; and countless animals are killed in research labs or their habitat. The numbers are daunting, but there's good news too! Even one person truly can make a difference without breaking the bank.
With Stephanie Feldstein's straightforward and encouraging guidance, readers will learn how to take action to create a better world for the animals we love. It starts with changes as simple as taking a shorter shower, skipping meat once a week, wearing "this" not "that," and extends all the way to online activism and politics.
The animals need us; so let's get on with some world changing!
"In the compelling style of a really good writer, and covering every aspect of animal exploitation and alternatives, this book tells us what's wrong, what we can do about it today, and who'll benefit from each action. After reading this, I feel uplifted, empowered, and motivated"
grateful even, knowing how much we can do."
"Feldstein's no-judgment, do-what-you-can approach is refreshing. She offers readers the same generous understanding that she offers animals, and frequently emphasizes that tackling this big problem in any way, even imperfectly, is worthy."
