| 520 | 1 | |a "In Dominion, we witness the annual convention of Safari Club International, an organization whose wealthier members will pay up to twenty thousand dollars apiece to hunt an elephant, a lion, or another animal. We attend the annual International Whaling Commission conference, where the focus is on developing more lethal, but not more merciful, methods of harvesting "living marine resources." And we visit a hellish "factory farm," where animals are treated as mere products and raised in conditions of mass confinement: bred for passivity and bulk, inseminated and fed by machines, kept in tightly confined stalls for the entirety of their lives, and slaughtered in a way that maximizes profits and minimizes decency." "Throughout Dominion, Scully counters the hypocritical arguments of those who insist that the Bible's message sanctions mankind to use animals as it pleases; hunters who claim that their sport helps control animal populations; and defenders of popular and "scientifically proven" notions that animals cannot feel pain, do not experience emotions, and are not conscious of their own lives."--BOOK JACKET. | |
