    “Why are rats persona non-grata, dogs “man’s best friend” and pigs being turned over on spits at upscale parties across the world? Herzog, an anthrozoologist who has something of the gonzo journalist about him, approaches the question by criss-crossing global history to examine how and why we protect certain animals while treating others like resources to squander. Wise, funny and galvanizing, this is essential reading for anyone who wants to deconstruct their relationship to animals and, in the process, to empathy itself.”
