Book

Animal Cruelty / Alice Harman.

Summary:

"The accepted definition of animal cruelty may differ between cultures and even between individual people. Some people may not mind eating meat, no matter where it came from, but think keeping animals in zoos is cruel. Others may abstain from eating meat or using animal products altogether. In addition, many animal-focused businesses make people a lot of money. How should young people decide what they believe? This book presents ideas about animal cruelty in an age-appropriate manner and allows readers to consider its many aspects. In addition, it presents tips to stand against animal cruelty in their lives and communities"--WorldCat.
