Carnivore Minds

Carnivore Minds is a pure delight and a magnificent achievement. Think of it as Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals for the twenty-first century. Every page reveals a new idea for looking deeply into animal souls. -Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of Beasts: What Animals Can Teach Us About the Origins of Good and Evil The Western world has long kept non-humans in conceptual boxes, distanced from the rest of the living world. Gay Bradshaw does the opposite. By removing artificial dividers, she shows the overlapping abilities and experiences among species and illuminates new perspectives for us to consider. -Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel Bradshaw continues to carve out an immensely important and innovative field that combines animal behavior and psychology, with deep inter-mind-and soul-sensibilities. Beautifully written. This book is a catalyst for societal change. -Peter H. Kahn, Jr., University of Washington With panache and care, Gay Bradshaw tackles myths about carnivores. She moves the reader to greater understanding and empathy-critical tasks if we are going to increase humanity's concern for carnivore thriving. -Darcia Narvaez, University of Notre Dame Gripping...Gay Bradshaw informs, educates, challenges, and exposes biases about carnivores. We need to stop excluding these animals from the ambit of human ethical concern. -John Gluck, author of Voracious Science and Vulnerable Animals: A Primate Scientist's Ethical Journey
