A far-reaching, urgent, and thoroughly engaging exploration of our relationship with animals - from the acclaimed Financial Times journalist.
This might be the worst time in history to be an animal. But is there a happier way?
Factory farms, climate change, deforestation and pandemics have made our relationship with the other species unsustainable. In response, Henry Mance sets out on a personal quest to see if there is a fairer way to live alongside the animals we love. He goes to work in an abattoir and on a farm to investigate the reality of eating meat and dairy. He explores our dilemmas around over-fishing the seas, visiting zoos and owning pets, and he meets the chefs, activists, scientists and tech visionaries who are redefining how we think about animals.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
Convincing and urgent * Guardian * This fascinating book makes a persuasive, sanctimony-free case for treating animals more humanely * The Times * A thoughtful and galvanising book * New Statesman * Wise, funny, moving and incisive. I loved it * Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist * Compassionate. funny and utterly readable * i Newspaper * Smart, provocative and funny, this book also throws down a huge challenge to all of us. You'll never look at your dog - or a glass of milk - in the same way again. -- Helen Lewis Written with humour and humanity, Mance's argument is both convincing and urgent: we need to make dramatic changes to our lifestyle if we want to prevent ecological catastrophe. -- P.D. Smith * Guardian * This fascinating book makes a persuasive, sanctimony-free case for treating animals more humanely. -- Ben Cooke * The Times * How to Love Animals is compassionate, funny and utterly readable. What's more, Mance does something of enormous value: he surprises himself and the reader, too... In marrying this openness with his clarity of vision, Mance offers a new window on the climate emergency. -- Clea Skopeliti * i Newspaper * Persuasive...wry and on occasion laugh-out-loud funny. Like all the best reporters, Mance possesses an open mind and a strong moral compass, he's thorough and game for anything and he's good at drawing people out... After reading this thoughtful and galvanising book, I've realised that it's better to keep trying to live in a way that shows compassion and respect for animals, and to sometimes fail, than to give up altogether. -- Sophie McBain * New Statesman *
