Book Reviews of Building an Ark: 101 Solutions to Animal Suffering (The Solutions Series)

Book Review: An invaluable resource for a better world
Summary: 5 Stars

Building An Ark is a one of a kind book. Covering comprehensively the use of animals in our modern society and providing other relevant background, the first part of the book proves to be an invaluable resource for any student, animal lover or simply anyone curious about the world in which we live and our interactions with the animals and our environment. But more than an excellent reference book, it is also and above all a practical book with a developed second part that proposes concrete, simple and reasonable actions that can easily be put in practice by individuals, governments, businesses, and other groups. The greatest strength of this book is its empowerment value: no one can read the book without feeling that they can make a positive difference in the world. The book brings a nice message of hope and compassion!

Summary of Building an Ark: 101 Solutions to Animal Suffering (The Solutions Series)

Building an Ark: 101 Solutions to Animal Suffering is a first-of-its-kind, inspiring look at practical solutions for the humane treatment of animals and animal liberation.

Animal cruelty has many forms: factory farms, habitat destruction, animal product testing, the abuse and neglect of companion animals, the illegal trade in endangered species, unsustainable fishing, and climate change. All these create unnecessary suffering for animals and destroy animal rights.

For several decades there has been a global movement building, an ever-increasing consciousness that will soon affect animal welfare and the future of life on Earth?if it?s given time to do so. Building an Ark is the story of this movement. Extensively researched and drawing on practical examples from around the world, it provides a voice for both the animals and the humans who have dedicated their lives to building a sustainable future for all species.

The ark is ready for all to board. Individuals, action groups, schools, businesses, governments, farmers, fishers, developing nations?there?s a role for everyone on this journey. Building an Ark offers a host of solutions that, if adopted, will ensure that animals will suffer less today, and that humans and animals will share a more sustainable planet tomorrow.

Ethan Smith is a writer, animal welfare advocate, and author/editor of the anthology Softly On This Earth: Joining Those Who Are Healing Our Planet.

Guy Dauncey founded the Solutions Project and is author of several books, including Stormy Weather: 101 Solutions to Global Climate Change.
