Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust
I know this book has incredible potential to be extremely polarizing, considering that the title alone is drawing a metaphor between animal suffering and the Holocaust, a comparison that is pretty controversial and more than a little condemning, and that condemnation is not without merit. But regardless, this book goes into great detail about the legacy of domestication and livestock farming, a legacy that includes slavery. For that alone, this book is worth reading. I don't think that this book
I like the book very much because I wrote it. :) The reason I'm (re)reading it now is I'm thinking about revising--expanding some parts and condensing others--to make a sort of sequel. Nobody wanted to publish it because it was too controversial, but I finally got it into print thanks to Lantern Books. It's now in 16 languages with Chinese, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, and Norwegian translations underway.
This book changed my life. It offers a whole new perspective of our treatment of animals in society, specifically our treatment of farmed animals.
One of the most important books ever written. Like a veil being lifted.
This book gave some of the greatest arguments against the murder of animals for human consumption. Eternal Treblinka takes you through a methodical treatment of how hypocritical it is to condemn murder when millions of living beings are killed every year in our towns.
Woah. As someone sympathetic to the cause who would still cringe a bit when the words 'animal' and 'Holocaust' appeared in the same sentence, I'd have to agree after reading this with another review that argued that by not allowing the comparison, we support the perpetrators more than we hurt the victims. Although, I realize I'm not in a position to make it myself. Highly recommended to anyone who feels put off by this at all. I'm only rating it 4 stars because I thought it fell off a bit at the

The connection between the treatment of animals and the treatment of people is an important topic but this book is basically just a bad piece of vegan propaganda. I should probably start by saying that I'm not some right-wing Christian patriot or dogmatic free-market fundamentalist or something. I do get these problems. I hate industrial farming, vivisection labs, circuses, zoos, the way environmentalists routinely tranquilize wild animals to measure their genitals (because clearly lack of dataI know this book has incredible potential to be extremely polarizing, considering that the title alone is drawing a metaphor between animal suffering and the Holocaust, a comparison that is pretty controversial and more than a little condemning, and that condemnation is not without merit.
