From the pet that we live with and care for, to news items such as
animal cloning, and the use of various creatures in film,
television and advertising, animals are a constant presence in our
lives.
"Animal" is a timely overview of the many ways in which we live
with animals, and assesses many of the paradoxes of our
relationships with them: for example, why is the pet that sits by
the dinner table never for eating? Examining novels such as
"Charlotte's Web," films such as "Old Yeller" and "Babe," science
and advertising, fashion and philosophy, "Animal" also evaluates
the ways in which we think about animals and challenges a number of
the assumptions we hold. Why is it, for example, that animals are
such a constant presence in children's literature? And what does it
mean to wear fake fur? Is fake fur an ethical avoidance of animal
suffering, or merely a sanitized version of the unacceptable use of
animals as clothing?
Neither evangelical nor proselytizing, "Animal" invites the reader
to think beyond the boundaries of a subject that has a direct
effect on our day-to-day lives.
