Recensione:

A staggering investigation into the ethics of animal exploitation around the world, Bleating Hearts pulls no punches as it examines the many ways humans use and abuse our fellow creatures. Hawthorne artfully travels to the darkest corners of animal suffering, bringing to light not only the disturbing truth about people s mistreatment of nonhumans, but what we can do about it. Eloquently written and thoroughly researched, this doesn t just belong on every animal advocate s bookshelf it deserves to be discussed and shared. This is a brilliant, powerfully persuasive book that will inspire you to make a difference. --Ric O Barry, founder of The Dolphin Project

If there is a place in your heart for animals, this is an important book for you to read. But is also more than that. If you want to lift the veil of denial, so that you can make your life an effective statement of compassion, you'll find this book to be nothing less than extraordinary. --John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution and Diet For A New America and co-founder of the Food Revolution Network (foodrevolution.org)

I can t think of any recent book that so comprehensively covers animal issues and gets it so consistently right. If everyone read it, the amount of suffering in the world would be reduced considerably, for it would be impossible to read Bleating Hearts and not be moved toward the vegan way of life. His facts are incontrovertible, his arguments are convincing, his detailed analyses are persuasive. This is a powerful and wonderful book that I cannot recommend enough. --Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals and The Face on Your Plate: The Truth About Food
