Animal rights extremists argue that eating meat is murder and that
pets are slaves. This compelling reappraisal of the human-animal
bond, however, shows that domestication of animals is not an act of
exploitation but a brilliantly successful evolutionary strategy
that has benefited humans and animals alike. "Budiansky's slim,
elegant discourse is a persuasive counterweight to the pastoral
delusions of sentimentalists intent on seeing humans as
malevolently at odds with the noble animal kingdom."-Manuela
Hoelterhoff, Wall Street Journal "Forcefully argued and
eloquent."-Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times "A subtle look
at the mysteries of evolution and a stinging response to
animal-rights extremists. . . . Ambrosia for anyone-whether in
agreement with Budiansky or not-who appreciates the beauty of an
argument that combines careful scholarship with common
sense."-Kirkus Reviews "Budiansky argues his thesis clearly and
cogently."-Daily Telegraph
