\"Thanking<\/p>\n

Thanking the Monkey<\/strong>:
\nRethinking the Way We Treat Animals
\nHV4708 .D39 2008
\nNew Book Island<\/strong>, 2nd floor<\/p>\n

The title of this week’s featured stuff sort of jumped out at me while I was browsing the shelves to find the topic for NST. It’s not everyday that you think about thanking the monkey.<\/p>\n

But that’s just what animal rights activist Dawn<\/a> thinks we should do. Jam-packed with information about every aspect of the animal’s impact on society, the book exposes the reader to all forms of animal cruelty without the sermon-like tone. In addition its light-hearted delivery of serious matters, comics from Bizarro<\/a> and others make you laugh and think at the same time. As if the information weren’t enough, it also features well-known individuals showing their support for animal rights. In the end, the author allows you to draw your own conclusions, although she does make a pretty convincing case for the vegans and the vegetarians.<\/p>\n

And for the Wisconsinites, she does tackle the everyone’s favorite topic – California and their ‘happy cows.’ That’s right – she says they’re not happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
