For people for whom pets are family members--animal lovers outside the fray--extremist positions in which all human-animal interaction is suspect often discourage involvement in the movement to end cruelty to other beings. In Loving Animals, Kathy Rudy argues that in order to achieve such goals as ending animal testing and factory farming, activists need to be better attuned to the profound emotional, even spiritual, attachment that many people have with the animals in their lives. Offering an alternative to both the acceptance of animal exploitation and radical animal liberation, Rudy shows that a deeper understanding of the nature of our feelings for and about animals can redefine the human-animal relationship in a positive way. Through extended interviews with people whose lives are intertwined with animals, analysis of the cultural representation of animals, and engaging personal accounts, she explores five realms in which humans use animals: as pets, for food, in entertainment, in scientific research, and for clothing. In each case she presents new methods of animal advocacy to reach a more balanced and sustainable relationship association built on reciprocity and connection. Using this intense emotional bond as her foundation, Rudy suggests that the nearly universal stories we tell of living with and loving animals will both broaden the support for animal advocacy and inspire the societal changes that will improve the lives of animals--and humans--everywhere."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aAnimal welfare 606 $aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aAnimal rights 606 $aAnimal rights activists 615 0$aAnimal welfare. 615 0$aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aAnimal rights. 615 0$aAnimal rights activists. 676 $a179/.3 686 $aNAT039000$aSOC002010$2bisacsh 700 $aRudy$b Kathy$01582759 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781630903321 996 $aLoving animals$93865377 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01467ojm 2200253z- 450 001 9910150468203321 005 20251118110505.0 010 $a1-5159-9324-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000944373 035 $a(BIP)060405608 035 $a(ODN)ODN0003041257 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000944373 100 $a20231107c2016uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 10$aReckless 210 $cTantor Audio 330 8 $aIt was just a party. A silly little celebration with champagne and my best friends. As I blew out the candles on my divorce cake, I said goodbye to my failed marriage and embraced my future with open arms. But I didn't know the future was going to come in the form of a mysterious stranger sitting at the end of the bar, stealing glances all night. And I didn't know it at the time, but my future even had a name . . . Dante Amato. Over the weeks that followed, he pursued me with reckless abandon. He broke down my walls and ignored all the reasons we were completely wrong for each other. He made me feel something I hadn't felt in years . . . something so real it terrified me. But the moment I let him in-just when I began to let myself fall for this dashing stranger-he dropped a bombshell that changed everything.Contains mature themes. 700 $aRenshaw$b Winter$01435219 702 $aArden$b Joe$4nrt 702 $aMitchell$b Maxine$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910150468203321 996 $aReckless$93593118 997 $aUNINA
