Ninety-Five: Meeting America’s Farmed Animals
Dziś była premiera książki "Ninety-Five: Meeting America’s Farmed Animals in Stories and Photographs" wydawnictwa No Voice Unheard. Pięknie wydana książka, której tytuł nawiązuje do liczby uratowanych zwierząt przez przejście jednej osoby na weganizm.
Brimming with beautiful, full-color photographs, Ninety-Five tells the captivating stories of farmed animals living in sanctuaries and homes across the country. These animals reveal themselves to be every bit as interesting, complicated, and charming as the dogs and cats many of us already know. From Justice, the steer who broke out of a truck on the way to the slaughterhouse and is now the self-appointed greeter at the sanctuary where he lives, to bold and irrepressible Lucas, a pig desperately infatuated with Petunia (the feeling isn’t mutual, but that doesn’t deter him), to Amelia, the turkey anxious to share a hug with her photographer, their stories are compelling, even amazing, and always moving.
"Most people have never had the chance to meet the animals we call ‘farm animals,’ and so are surprised to realize how personality-filled and emotionally complex they are," says Diane Leigh, No Voice Unheard Editor. "When they are allowed to live in peace and comfort and be who they are, farmed animals form deep relationships, have clear preferences about all aspects of their lives and have feelings and memories. The stories in Ninety-Five convey this, simply and obviously".
