We Animals

We Animals

"My goals have always been to educate people about our treatment of animals. To reduce their suffering. To widen our circle of compassion to include non-human animals. To make animal industries visible, and accountable."―<b>Jo-Anne McArthur</b><br /><br />Drawn from a thousand photos taken over fifteen years,<i><b> We Animals</i></b> illustrates and investigates animals in the human environment: whether they're being used for food, fashion and entertainment, or research, or are being rescued to spend their remaining years in sanctuaries. Award-winning photojournalist and animal advocate Jo-Anne McArthur provides a valuable lesson about our treatment of animals, makes animal industries visible and accountable, and widens our circle of compassion to include all sentient beings.<br /><br /><hr align="left" width="200"><br />"Powerfully disturbing. These images take us to dark and hidden places visited by only a few determined and courageous individuals like Jo-Anne McArthur. They reveal the secret practices that many people will not want to know about. For the animals' sake, I beg that you will not only look but <i>feel</i>. For if we truly understand their suffering then, surely, we shall no longer condone it. And the heart-warming images at the end of the book show us the road to compassion."―<b>Dr. Jane Goodall</b>, primatologist and author, <i>Reason for Hope</i><br /><br />"To look at Jo-Anne McArthur's gorgeous, heart-breaking photographs is to be reminded of the dignity and worthiness of all living creatures, and to be awakened to the vast, redemptive power of empathy."―<b>Barbara Gowdy</b>, author, <i>The White Bone</i><br /><br />"This is a work of grace, direct from the soul. This groundbreaking book emanates integrity, hard work and a cosmos of empathy. May there be a tectonic shift of consciousness in our lifetime. For the Ghosts."―<b>Liz Marshall</b>, filmmaker, <i>The Ghosts in Our Machine</i>
