Title: Not your typical "animal rights" screed
Product review: Like a lot of conservatives, I have tended to dismiss most "animal rights" people as fanatics or extremists, because too often they want to put animals on the same level as human beings. Mr. Scully's book is different from 99% of the other animal rights books at Amazon because he is not coming from that perspective AT ALL, and in fact spends some time discussing the problems with that kind of thinking. What he IS saying - and it makes a lot of sense - is that it is precisely because human beings ARE superior to animals that we owe them compassion and respect - and he gives graphic examples of how we are failing in that regard (factory farms, unnecessary hunting, etc.). If you believe that God's mercy extends even to the humblest of His creatures, this is a book you MUST read.
