A Life for Animals is the story of a life devoted to a radical
idea: that animals should be treated with dignity and respect.
Christine Townend founded Animal Liberation Australia in 1976 after
reading Peter Singer's book of the same name. Despite a largely
indifferent and sometimes hostile public, she campaigned
relentlessly to raise awareness of animal welfare and to build the
movement's momentum in Australia. In 1990, weary of Australian
politics, she accepted an invitation to visit a small, run-down
animal shelter in Rajasthan. There she encountered shocking human
and animal suffering - but also the extraordinary power of human
and animal interaction. As she edged her way into the life of the
shelter, she found herself unexpectedly attached: to the animals,
to her colleagues, and to India.A Life for Animals is Townend's
account of this journey. She records the successes and challenges
of animal welfare work, the critical moments that have shaped her
philosophy, and the profound personal and political consequences of
sharing a life with animals.
