The Dog by the Cradle, the Serpent Beneath: Some Paradoxes of Human-Animal Relationships

Erika Ritter

4.9/5 (10270 ratings)

Description:"As old as humankind's engagement with animals is the story of a dog left to guard the baby's cradle by a master unaware of the serpent beneath. In this book, Erika Ritter takes a fresh look at that ancient tale, from the perspective of today's animal-obsessed society, and the paradoxes that abound with the animals we love, those we love to eat, and those we love to hate." "For every pet we proclaim as "special," thousands of anonymous animals are fattened scientifically, dispatched efficiently, and packaged unrecognizably for our plates - and our pets'. Our enthusiasm for wildlife is exceeded only by the expansion of our habitat at the expense of theirs." Yet the story of us and animals is also one of mutual devotion, shared humour, and even awe. From prehistoric worship of the cave bear, to the latest research on the intelligence of crows, Erika Ritter follows this winding path of contradictions.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
