The animal rights movement has reached a tipping point. No longer a fringe extremist cause, it has become a social concern that leading members of society endorse and young people embrace. From Michael Vick's dog fighting scandal to the incredible success of the bestselling Skinny Bitch veggie diet book, animal rights issues have hit the headlines—and are being championed by students and senators, pop stars and producers, and actors and activists. Don't you want to be part of the conversation? In Thanking the Monkey, Karen Dawn covers pets, fur, fashion, food, animal testing, activism, and more.

More About Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals
To make a forty-inch fur coat it takes between thirty and two hundred chinchilla, or sixty mink, fifty sables, fifty muskrats, forty-five opossums, forty raccoons, thirty-five rabbits, twenty foxes, twenty otters, eighteen lynx, sixteen coyotes, fifteen beavers, or eight seals. Karen Dawn, Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals Fur ranchers choose the cheapest, not the kindest, kill methods, the main concern being the preservation of the whole coat. Many ranchers use anal electrocution, which fries the animal from the inside out, microwave style.

We also see a farmer who injects insecticide into the chests of minks, who die convulsing in agony over many minutes. Karen Dawn, Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals

I like the comics and light-hearted tone she uses. I already was familiar with most of these issues but I like that she encourages involvement and really getting your voice out there, especially through the media, and telling people that THIS is how things will eventually change. I don't agree with her standpoints on everything though,... Really well done. Karen Dawn takes a potentially divisive topic and presents it in a way that can speak to everyone. Of course there are parts, as we learn about how animals are treated in the USA, that should cause nausea in any loving being - but there is also humor and grace. Much to learn for anyone passionate about anything - towards...
