uhm…not my favorite read ever. i didn’t appreciate how they encouraged teens to “walk around and show people graphic videos of animals being slaughtered”. i think stuff like that is incredibly triggering and just…people shouldn’t be forced to watch those videos.

I think this a great guide to all things animal activism. Catherine covers so many ways people can make change and I love that she doesn't value any one method over another. You want to write chalk messages on paths? That's great! You want to photograph what happens in stockyards? That's great too! This book is exactly what it says it is, a guide. There is no judgement but rather compassion and hope, which is so motivating and inspiring. Thanks Catherine!

Catherine provides useful prompts throughout for brainstorming your own ideas. This guide packs hundreds of incredible tips and stories, giving you a sense of hope. It was a brilliant read, I struggled to put it down!
