"Humanity's survival depends upon our learning to live in harmony
with all other species. The second law of ecology is the law of
interdependence. Without bees, phytoplankton, worms and trees we
cannot live; without dogs, cats, horses, elephants and penguins we
cannot be truly happy. We are a part of them as they are a part of
us and together we are the planet Earth. Ingrid Newkirk and Gene
Stone have done a wonderful service to us all with their stories of
kindness and compassion. The book is truly inspiring."
- Captain Paul Watson, CEO and founder of Sea Shepherd
Conservation Society
"Thought-provoking... Animalkind will have you thinking
about the creatures that share our planet - their astonishing
capabilities and emotions, and the ways in which we could improve
how we cohabit with them."
- Columbus Dispatch
"What Animalkind reveals only reinforces my belief that some
of the most brilliant individuals you could ever hope to meet have
fur, fins or feathers."
- Alan Cumming, stage and screen actor
"We share this planet and the same kingdom with the animals and
although we feel superior to them, they have senses that far
surpass ours. This book shows how much we have to learn from them
beginning with compassion, simplicity and unconditional love. It is
a must read."
- Dr. Marty Goldstein, author of The Nature of Animal
Healing
"With wisdom and eloquence, Ingrid Newkirk and Gene Stone remind us
of what we've always known, but too often forget: animals are
deserving of our care."
- Jonathan Safran Foer, New York Times bestselling author
of Eating Animals
"Compendious... Meant to evoke both admiration and empathy."
- The New York Times Book Review
"This book makes the spot-on case that the future of laboratory
research will not be based on four-legged or tail-wagging models,
but rather on sophisticated, human-relevant and high-tech
animal-free testing methods. As Newkirk and Stone point out, these
modern technologies are delivering better human health outcomes and
are benefiting patients, physicians and researchers."
- John Pawlowski, MD, PhD, Harvard Medical Faculty
Physician
"This is the book to buy, read, and give to others so that everyone
finally sees why they should respect and cherish all animals."
- Anjelica Huston, Oscar winning actress
"A resourceful guide...a treasure of greater compassion, integrity
and awareness, Animalkind is both a moving compendium of animals'
remarkable intelligence and emotional complexity, and a manual of
all the ways we can stop accepting and contributing to their
slaughter and exploitation."
- Joy Williams, author The Quick and the Dead and The
Changeling
"Animalkind is a much-needed antidote to viewing other
animals as second-class citizens and offers a fresh look into the
cognitive and emotional lives of other animals. This thought
provoking and engaging book will change your view of who other
animals are and how you should interact with them in respectful and
compassionate ways. It could be a game-changer."
- Marc Bekoff, Ph.D., author of The Emotional Lives of
Animals
"Buy this book for anyone you know who harbors even the slightest
doubt that animals aren't super-clever or that there aren't many
ways to help them - because Newkirk and Stone show that animals
are, and that you can."
- Edie Falco, Emmy winning actress
"A fascinating look at animal behavior, as well as a treatise
against cruelty toward animals... Newkirk and Stone's informative
survey effectively nudges readers to think twice about their own
use of products sourced, perhaps less than ethically, from the
animal kingdom."
- Publishers Weekly
"This emotional and informative book should be required reading for
everyone! I urge you to pick it up and embrace its beautiful
message of compassion and understanding. The time is now for all of
us to fall in love with Animalkind!"
-Mike White, filmmaker, actor, and producer
"This book takes you by the hand and leads you, enchanted, into the
wonderful world of diverse animal life."
-James Cromwell, Emmy winning
actor
