Publisher's Synopsis
The authors bring to the forefront humanity's neglected relationship with animals and present the personal and societal benefits of living peacefully with all beings. Sensitively written and spiritually awakening, this book is based on the idea that "ahimsa" (non-violence) does not exclude the animal kingdom. The first part of the book is full of true, life-altering stories, guaranteed to prompt us to take a deeper look at our own dietary and lifestyle choices. Part II of the book examines the spiritual, scientific and historical reasons for changing our views towards animals -- and ultimately the way we view ourselves on this planet.
