Customer Review: Questionable if you love animals
I was acutely made aware of how “careers with animals” is a different concept to “careers for those who *love* animals”. The section on farming (which includes veal production) describes its practices so benignly – with no acknowledgement of the horrendous cruelties these poor animals endure. I tossed the book aside in disappointment and disgust. There may well be some useful information in the other sections but the book was already tainted for me. My recommendation is that if you truly care about the welfare of animals you should look elsewhere.
