Ting's Reviews > Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard to Think Straight About Animals

Human-animal relationship, what an interesting topic! So when I saw a friend recommending this book, I immediately marked it as "to read". However, it took me quite a bit of an effort to actually buy it and open it. My struggle is: I'm NOT ignorant about factory farming and its cruelty but I'm not ready to become a vegetarian EITHER. I'm afraid this book will change my attitude but not behavior and as a result leaves me with only more uncomfortable truth.

Dr. Herzog shows me that the human-animal relationship is far more complicated than I thought. The human moral ethics towards animal is intrinsically inconsistent, paradoxical and, sometimes I would say even random. It is very well written and the author rightfully refused to give easy, black and white answers to this extremely complex and difficult topic. A provocative and enjoyable read!
