This book is going to be powerful. Animals are sentient beings, yet humans exploit and slaughter them for food. It is unconscionable. Why can’t we all love and care for our animal friends? Why can’t we all, at the VERY least, stop eating meat? Why must we exploit animals for human consumption? I can’t wait to dive into this. It will be emotional. #vegforlife

"'[Animals'] most basic and fundamental interests—their pains, their lives, their freedoms—are intentionally ignored, often maliciously trampled, and routinely abused,' declared Wise. And because [animals] were not legal persons, their protections never rising to the level of rights, so it would remain until that wall was toppled."

The cover definitely looks more like a children's book, haha! My understanding is that it takes a more scientific approach later in the book, mixed with earlier stories of people emotionally connecting with all sorts of animals. We are more similar to animals than we are different, and that should be reflected in how we treat them. I believe that's the overall theme of the book.
I can see that. Theme is good hope you get a good reading with this.
And I hope you get a good ending of your book. 😊
