Samenvatting:

A danger for animal studies is that too heavy an emphasis on animal suffering and death risks catalysing further inertia: either by contributing to a sense of powerlessness, or by provoking others to rile against perceived opprobrium. From this perspective, Animal Death is a triumph. The chapters dealing with issues such as factory farming are unsparing, but equally argue that optimism is not impossible if such topics are broached with cultural and philosophical understanding.
