Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat [Second Edition]

We admire this book because Professor Herzog is thoughtful, rational, and often funny as he shows students how illogical they are in their relationships with animals. It’s not a polemic. It’s a book that fosters debate and conversation by asking deceptively simple questions:

• Does living with a pet really make people happier and healthier? 

• What can we learn from biomedical research with mice? 

• Who enjoys a better quality of life—the chicken on a dinner plate or a rooster who dies in a Saturday night cockfight? 

• Why is it wrong to eat the family dog? 



It’s already been adopted in a variety of courses from anthropology and composition to ethics.
