Status Updates From Waarom wilde natuur niet me...

Wow this went downhill when she moved on to herself and family's eating animals and hunting. All her philosophical thoughts and concerns, her musings on ecology and the individual, all disappear into shallow misdirection and tokenism. The first 60% is still very strong but never ceases to amaze me how people's beliefs completely stop when they're pointed at themselves and their partner/family's responsiblity.

Mind blowing book making me rethink so many beliefs. It may be the first book I have read that directly and honestly dissects human intervention in the lives of nondomesticated animals for things like study and conservation. These subjects are almost completely dominated by people who control animals more for profit, personal gain, or anthropocentrism even if they don't quite realize it.

This book is blowing my mind. One of the first books I have read that tackles the ethics of human intervention specifically regarding non domesticated animals- a realm highly dominated by people in favor of control for personal gain, profit, or due to domination based ignorance. It's making me think a lot about my own choices and beliefs in what should and should not be.
