Reviews

This edited international collection makes an original contribution to the fields of critical animal studies and critical media studies. The converging of these two critical fields provides a particularly interesting interdisciplinary approach to the ethical consideration of our treatment of nonhuman animals through the lens of media studies and the political economy of communication. - Kay Peggs, University of Portsmouth, UK This volume is a positive step in bringing attention to media culpability in violence, and responsibility to advocate on behalf of those who can neither speak nor control their images or portrayals, who lack lawyers to sue for slander or libel, much less for being cruelly mistreated then butchered. (...) This important and searing collection of essays provides a rationale for reflecting on animals by anyone whose work or community engagement involves media. - Ellen W. Gorsevski, Bowling Green State University, USA for Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
