Domesticating Animals: From Reverence to Ownership

I think you mean 'An Unnatural Order: Why We Are Destroying the Planet and Each Other' by Jim Mason. :)

Very good explanation.

[BabiVegan]

Yes, very good. It's also well explained in the book by Tim Mason, I dont remember its title but it's one of THE most important book to read to get an idea of why we are as we are now as a society. And as Colleen says, it's all rooted in the shift we had from revering animals and nature and dominating it. It also has to do with becoming too many, having way too many children and it became impossible to have an access to natural food around us. We had to depend on someone producing it for us.

I love how you make a connection between the way society treats animals and the way it treats people. It makes a lot of sense.
