THE HUMANE ECONOMY How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers are Transforming the Lives of Animals

Eric Martin gives a resonant narration to this important audiobook by the head of the Humane Society of the United States. Martin's thoughtful phrasing conveys every nuance and all of the urgency in the author's message. Pacelle, a vegan, is a clear-headed reporter of the opportunities we have to improve our treatment of animals. With the history he provides of performing and sporting animals, medical and cosmetic testing, wildlife management, factory farming, and the culture of pets, he provides the type of context most of us overlook--or don't want to know about--when thinking about animal welfare. Martin's delivery enhances this overview of a revolution that is already improving how we feed the planet and live responsibly with our animal friends.
