I expected a more "animal rights" version of why we should all be vegetarians. In fact, this is a very balanced explanation of how we *used to* take better care of our farm animals == they were practically under the same roof as us; there was an unwritten contract between us and the animals, that if we took care of them, they would "take care of us." but now that "animal husbandry" has become "animal science" -- and animals are no longer under our roof, this "contract" is no longer a fair contract: there is benefit for only the human and not the animal.

Bernard Rollin gives both the meat eater and the vegetarian a lot to think about with this book. I highly recommend it for all.

For all people who want to inform themselves about socialism and communism in very abstract way. Personally I prefer to treat an issue in a realistic way, and I think the oppinions and feelings of the situations that Orwell describes would better be understood if he had used human characters.

FINE

I have had to read this book for the English class and I must say that it is not bad. For me it was not easy to understand and so I was tired to read it. But I think that it was a good choice to read this book in class because you can learn much about the Revolution in Russia but also a lot about tyranny.
