Sharing the planet with other species can go awry at times. This collection of humor expresses just how twisted things can get. From Miami macaws trying to protect their young from poachers to captive polar bears wanting nothing more than to hunt seals on the Arctic ice to circus tigers loathing performance, animals have had it. In Defense of Animalhood gives animal lovers a front-row seat to the misadventures experienced by wildlife?and they're crossing their paws, fins, and feathers, hoping you'll sympathize with their plight.
