Do our animals deserve better treatment? Why are there so many inconsistencies in our attitudes and in laws relating to animals? This book answers many of these questions and certainly provides much information to help decide how we ourselves can act in the best interest of these animals. -- Patricia MacDuff, British Naturalist This is a brilliant book and I recommend that you buy it and read it. -- Mark Avery, author and environmental campaigner Refreshingly, [Simmons] is far from puritanical in matters concerning animals... His book is a welcome contribution to debates about the use and abuse of animals and will surely serve to prompt further discussion. -- Josh Loeb, The Veterinary Record Perhaps in sixty years we’ll look back on Treated Like Animals as helping to initiate a new era of openness, transparency and citizen engagement in all forms of the exploitation of animals. -- Moira Harris, Animal Welfare A thought-provoking tome...This is a book that sets out to ask difficult questions. It does not always provide answers, but it reminds the reader, farmer, animal rights activist or conservationist that there are no easy answers. -- The Leveller [Simmons] encourages us to become better informed about the myriad ways societies and economies depend on animals—and to be more accountable for our choices... his overall message is universal. -- Animal Welfare Institute Quarterly
