- examines the five major religions - Judaism, Christianity, Islam,
Hinduism and Buddhism - and provides a balanced, objective critique
of both the beliefs and practices employed which lead to both the
protection and exploitation of animals - draws on scripture as well
as leading historical and contemporary figures in the religions,
from early Christian saints to royal figures like Ashoka - compares
the teachings of old with contemporary practice and showcases what
the major religions are doing to protect or exploit animals, from
moving their investments away from animal-exploiting companies or
running animal sanctuaries to participating in or condoning animal
sacrifice, cruel sports and factory farming - challenges religious
leaders and followers to re-examine their religion's teachings and
to raise their official or personal practices in relation to the
well-being of animals. - essential reading for those interested in
the role of religion in animal welfare, human-animal studies, and
animal ethics more broadly.
