I liked this book because it gave me a better understanding of anarchism and the animal rights movement in general. I also liked his criticisms of people like John Mackey and organizations like PETA, because they always rub me the wrong way, and I always wonder if I'm a strange type of vegan who hates PETA. I always wonder how useful any movement is when it works within the framework of capitalism, and Bob Torres does a great job explaining how animals will never be liberated when they are commodities and property. Animal rights are simply not compatible with capitalism.
Definitely recommended for current veg*ns, anyone interested in animal rights and people who are anarchists but don't see the point in helping out animals. You can be an activist and help dismantle capitalist systems of dominance over animals. Go vegan!… (plus d'informations)
