Product Description

Review
"Scully's riveting account... shows how unspeakable and systematic animal cruelty is the currency of a soulless industry that has shattered American rural communities, poisoned our soils, air, and water, made family farmers an endangered species, and undermined our democracy. Scully's book gently questions whether we can foster human dignity in a society that treats other sentient beings as production units." --- Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
"Matthew Scully has set forth a case - in a wry and riveting manner - that will resonate with any reader who values logical reasoning and ethical conduct. I expect that "Dominion "will be the most influential book on animal protection in the last twenty-five years." -- Wayne Pacelle, Senior Vice President, The Humane Society of the United States


Product Description
Argues for responsible action in the treatment of animals, challenging popular conceptions about animal feeling and awareness and profiling a safari convention, factory farm, and the works of top writers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dominion, 14 Jan 2007
By Knut Farstad (Bergen, Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dominion (Hardcover)
Tremendously painful, agonizing in the intellectual and emotional realm; Matthew Scully crafts a book that despite its quoting of scriptures and his own stance as conservative Republican, somehow becomes even more lucid, heavy and motivated. His mastery of English is like a dream; sadly, the book's matter is of utmost reality: a vicious, heart-rending toll which glimpses the neverending nightmare at our most unfeeling abyss.

5.0 out of 5 stars A radical book about animal cruelty, but with humour, 13 Feb 2009
Superbly written, Matthew Scully tackles the issue of animal cruelty and exploitation in all spheres, hunting, the fur trade, killing animals to eat, cruel sports etc without beating about the bush. It is a refreshing book coming from a Christian in particular. In my view christians on the whole have their ostrich heads in the sand. It is sad that evangelicals often associate a concern for the welfare of animals with extremism than with the Bible!
I quote one paragraph: "In this chapter I just want to examine the thinking of many skeptics, especially my fellow conservatives and the lengths to which they often go to avoid animal welfare as a serious moral issue. Typically this involves three points of attack: A glorification of economic imperatives; a summary dismissal of the matter as sentimental, morally trivial and probably subversive; and a little Scripture thrown in for our moral uplift." A must read.
