这本书引人入胜，发人深省，探讨了人类如何看待和对待其他动物，并主张我们应该平等地考虑和尊重所有人，包括人类和非人类。
我们的世界充斥着种族主义和性别歧视等“主义”，但我们可能忽略了一个非常重要的主义：物种主义。物种主义是对不属于某一物种的人的一种歧视。它驱使我们将非人类动物视为物体，而不是有自己兴趣、有感觉和受苦能力的个体。这本书质疑物种主义所基于的所有假设。它对人类对其他动物的复杂态度提出了许多具有挑战性的问题。考虑到动物是如何被利用的，野生动物的痛苦，以及所有人的未来，这本书呼吁社会认真考虑所有动物的利益。
对于所有关心动物，或者仅仅关心如何让世界变得更美好的人来说，这本书是必不可少的读物。
Making a Stand for Animals
Engaging and thought-provoking, this book examines how humans see and treat other animals and argues that we should extend equal consideration and respect to all beings, human and nonhuman alike.
Our world is plighted by ‘isms’ such as racism and sexism, but we may have overlooked a very important one: speciesism. Speciesism is a form of discrimination against those who don’t belong to a certain species. It drives us to see nonhuman animals as objects, rather than individuals with their own interests and with the ability to feel and suffer. This book questions all of the assumptions speciesism is based upon. It raises many challenging questions over humans’ very complicated attitudes toward other animals. Thinking about how animals are used as well as the suffering of wild animals, and what the future may be for all beings, this book calls for society to seriously take into account the interests of all animals.
For all who care about animals, or simply how to make the world a better place, this book is essential reading.
