Publisher's summary

“A fascinating, thoughtful, and thoroughly enjoyable exploration of a major dimension of human experience.” (Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works)

A maverick scientist reveals the inconsistent and often paradoxical ways humans think, feel, and behave toward animals in this engaging, informative, and thought-provoking book, now newly revised.

Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat is a highly entertaining and illuminating journey through the full spectrum of human-animal relations. Drawing on his groundbreaking research in the field of anthrozoology, Dr. Hal Herzog tries to make sense of our complex relationships with animals and the challenging moral conundrums we face regarding these creatures who share our world - and some, our homes.

A blend of anthropology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy, updated to reflect evolving attitudes and the most recent findings, Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat is a poignant, often challenging, and frequently laugh-out-loud funny trip through a world of animal-rights activists, cockfighters, professional dog-show handlers, veterinary students, biomedical researchers, and more. It will forever change the way we think about other living creatures and, ultimately, how we see ourselves.

Muy interesante, pero anteopocéntrico

El libro tiene información muy valiosa para la defensa de los demás animales, si bien no es un libro de defensa de animales sino de las complejas relaciones que establecemos con ellos, es claro que es importante conocer diferentes puntos de vista y datos que enriquecen el debate.

El libro claramente es anteopocéntrico y el autor refuerza con sus argumentos el quiebre de lo humano con lo demás.

Fantastic Read!

As a wildlife biologist and an animal rescuer this is a very fascinating book. It will have you questioning if you really should keep domestic animals, if certain types of animals related activities (ie. cock fighting) are truly worse for the animals than conditions of those we eat (ie mass producing chicken farms), and so much more.
