About the Author:
From Library Journal:
Michael W. Fox has been called "American's best known veterinarian." Author of over a dozen books on animals and holistic subjects, Dr. Fox also provides advice in his Q&A column, "Animal Doctor" (nationally syndicated by United Media), which appears twice a week. He lives in Minneapolis, MN.
A noted veterinarian and columnist, Fox believes the ills of modern society are reflected in the way we treat animals and that most animal suffering is caused by humans rather than by nature. He suggests extending the golden rule to the animal kingdom and applies the principles of basic philosophy to animal life. Fox's opposition to purebred pet ownership and breeding will spark some arguments, and some farmers and researchers will disagree with his views on raising livestock and genetic engineering. Still, Fox is fair; he discusses both sides of each issue he identifies and then makes suggestions for more humane alternatives. The current animal rights movement has spawned a wealth of outspoken pamphlets and magazine articles, but few recent books. This one is very readable and takes a strong stance while presenting a creditably balanced treatment of the issues. Recommended for all types of libraries needing material on this important topic.
