Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A collection of beautifully poignant and moving poems and artwork from a talented artist who spent a summer interacting with the animals on an organic meat farm. In the summer of 2019, artist and poet Linnea Ryshke worked as a laborer at an organic meat farm. She transformed what she saw, as well as the specific and acute interactions she had with the animals, into a series of poems, photographs, and artwork. Linnea's intimate, honest, and poignant experience reflects what it means to confront the lives and deaths of individual creatures under your care. As she writes: 'Connection, the kind that nourishes the marrow, does not know the bounds of species. I do not risk hyperbole to say that all humans know this truth. My dog led me to the field of simple joys, and when she died, I was not prepared for the torrent of grief. The hen who harbored distrust of humans slowly warmed to me through my daily ritual of sitting with her in the barn. The turkey who, in the instant I entered her pen, ran up and inspected me. I relish the moments, from the prolonged to the acute, when I come body to body, being to being, with an animal Other.' Kindling's artwork, poetry, and profound evocations of experiences with animals will leave a lasting impression on the reader.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A searing memoir of an animal rights campaigner's effort to stop Canada's seal hunt, while handling domestic abuse and her partner's long-term illness. When two government agents asked Karen Levenson whether she knew any terrorists or was one herself, she couldn't have been more astonished. Passionately and professionally engaged in the struggle to end Canada's seal hunt, she considered her efforts to persuade chefs to boycott Canadian seafood, her deep-dive investigation of hunt economics, and her campaign to end animal suffering not only as far from terrorism as possible, but the mission she'd been called upon to do since she was a child. But, as she relates in her vividly told and revelatory memoir, Levenson's life has been marked by waves of unwarranted accusations and implicit or explicit violence: whether from government agencies, sealers, or even family members. Confessions of an Animal Rights Terrorist is at once an insider's account of the decades-long attempt to end the seal hunt; an absorbing exploration of one woman's growing awareness of animal cruelty and her emerging confidence, commitment, and knowledge; and a searingly honest memoir of domestic violence, caregiving, and the possibility of redemption. By turns infuriating, funny, and deeply moving, Confessions of an Animal Rights Terrorist reveals the extraordinary journey of an ordinary woman who comes face to face with breathtaking cruelty and does what she can to stop it.…
