Us & Them: On the Importance of Animals by Anna Krien

damopedro's review

4.0

I enjoyed this but found it a little too short. I wanted more! An analysis of our relationship with animals, by the half way mark I wasn't feeling too much hope. Tales of Indonesian slaughterhouses will do that to you. Then we got on to the topic of yellowstone national park and how bringing back the wolves that has previously been removed was the key to the rejuvenation of that park. The apex predator is key! Fascinating! Then the closer to home story of using guardian dogs to protect sheep from dingoes came up. Great examples of two species working together beautifully to achieve a common goal! I went from feeling a bit depressed by the book to feeling very enthused and hopeful.
I'll definitely track down more of Anna Krien's work.
