About the Book Animalkind: Remarkable Discoveries About Animals and Revolutionary New Ways to Show Them Compassion, published by Simon & Schuster, offers an intriguing array of types of animal behavior that indicate compassion, loyalty, sophisticated communication and navigation skills, and other evidence of intelligence, awareness, and emotions. For example, did you know pigeons fall in love, reindeers’ eyes change color with the seasons, fish sing underwater, rhinos use their breath to communicate, dogs can detect human diseases, cows communicate via subtle facial movements, and elephants send subsonic signals, alerting herds a mile or more away to a source of water or a coming danger?
Readers will also learn what they can do in everyday life to ensure that the animal world is protected from needless harm. Whether for medicine, product testing, food, clothing, or entertainment, there are now better options to replace all the ways animals were once used by humans. We can reap the benefits of medical research that no longer requires monkeys to be caged in laboratories, choose vegan versions of everything from shrimp and sausage to milk and marshmallows, substitute warmer and lighter faux fleece for wool, and scrap captive-orca exhibits and elephant rides for virtual reality and animatronics.
“Like me, Ingrid Newkirk believes in protecting all the creatures we love.” —Sir Paul McCartney, legendary musician
“This book takes you by the hand and leads you, enchanted,
into the wonderful world of diverse animal life.” —James Cromwell, Emmy-winning actor
