Wayne Pacelle

The Bond: An Excerpt with Fifty Ways to Help Animals (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Wayne Pacelle, the powerful and influential President & CEO of the Humane Society, brings his relentless dedication and enthusiasm to students with The Bond. Pacelle describes the history of our relationship with animals, what's gone wrong with that relationship, and how we can fix it.

Liberally sprinkled with stories from Wayne's time in the field- shadowing seal clubbers in Canada, raiding puppy mills in the heartland, rescuing strays from the floodwaters of Katrina, and facing Michael Vick in his prison jumpsuit- The Bond will explore all the ways we can repair our bond with the animal kingdom as well as one man's extraordinary contribution to that effort.

"For everyone who cares about animals, The Bond is not to be missed. Wayne Pacelle, who has done so much to make animal welfare a major cause in America today, gives us his perspective on everything from animal intelligence to zoos, and from factory farming to his role in the rehabilitation of Michael Vick. Heart-warming, informative, thrilling, inspiring, disturbing: The Bond covers the full range of our interactions with animals."-Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation and Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University
