ABOUT THE BOOK:
Blood Relations takes us inside the little-known world of the Canadian
animal rights movement.
Ridiculed by industry, vilified by scientists, and largely ignored by the
media and the left, this grassroots phenomenon has enlisted a new generation
of activists dedicated to changing the most basic political arrangements on
the planet.
Meet the people involved and the issues they raise. Extremists trade time in
jail to save animals' lives. Conservative welfarists struggle to hold their
place in the established order. And dedicated, law-abiding advocates fight to
make humans recognize that we are only one species among many with legitimate
claims.
Why does cruel and pointless animal research go on in near total secrecy,
despite its public funding? Why does agriculture get a blanket exemption to
routinely treat animals in ways that would bring criminal charges in a city
setting? What happens when you look at the seemingly wholesome family fun of
circuses, zoos, Marineland, or the Calgary Stampede, from the animals' point
of view?
And aren't the outcomes predictable when a political movement with a small
but skillful outlaw wing is deliberately excluded from the political agenda?
"In this powerful book, Charlotte Montgomery brings clarity and insight to
a
subject that has too often been trivialized. While maintaining a reporter's
objectivity, she forces us to consider a difficult question we'd rather
avoid: by what moral right do we abuse another species for our own
convenience?"
~ Linda McQuaig
