The Animal Activist's Handbook

I heard good things about this book from an activism perspective. So I went into it hoping I'll learn something about that. And while there certainly are some good ideas, it's very outdated (internet and social media only mentioned in passing), focusing primarily on pamphlets and showing VCR tapes (yes, really) on a TV and educating people who pass by.

The vast, vast majority of the book is about why we should stop eating animals. And while there's nothing wrong with that, and I agree that in the future we'll look back at this period of factory farming with horror, it is not why I picked up this book or what I hoped to get out of it.

So if you need convincing to go vegetarian/vegan, and/or are interested in spreading that word, give this book a go. It's great. But if you're not in the subsection of that Venn diagram, feel free to skip it.
