Editorial Reviews

I have long been of the view that we will never have a vegan world as long as we have an #39;animal movement#39; that that refuses to recognize veganism as a moral imperative and promotes the more #39;humane#39; exploitation of animals along with the idea that being a #39;flexible#39; vegan (whatever that means) is sufficient. I believe that Jeanette Rowley shares that vision and I commend her for her efforts, discussed in this book, to ensure that the rights of vegans are protected.
