Year after year, day after day, minute after minute, billions of non-human animals are slaughtered for several purposes and aims (food, clothing, entertainment, research). An analogous situation whose objects were humans instead of animals would obviously never be accepted. But why do we tolerate and even justify one practice while deploring the other? The answer is far from banal: this book is an attempt at finding it beyond the everyday life, through politics and philosophy.
Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them?
These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell.
He thought he saw an elephant, sitting on the stair But when he looked again, it simply wasn't there. Was he going crazy, or living in a zoo? Is it only him, or did you see it too? See inside the book - Did You See Them Too?
