●○ Animal ●○ - a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.
●○ Liberation ●○ - freedom from limits on thought or behavior.

This book focuses on the treatment of animals, the processes of factory farming, product testing, and touches on their philosophical history. If you are so inclined to read it, know that it is pretty heavy material. Material we should all know about, but extremely graphic in its own right. This isn't really the place to have a full on conversation about the issues brought up in this book, but they are extremely important and I will be mulling them over in mind for a very, very long time.

For the past five years, I have been transitioning to a plant based diet and will be fully in by the end of this year. The reason I bring this up is because I have a hard time explaining my reasons to friends and family in a way that helps them understand. Now, I'll just point them to this informative book.
