When you're so used to having to be concillilatory and smile brightly in the face of people who are openly hostile or stubbornly cynical of any consideration towards animals, it is positively electifying to read Matthew Scully refer to a big game hunter as "some rich low-life." His characterization of the Safari Club as "arrogant, merciless people who have no business sitting down with the President of the United States" is so reassuring. It actually gives me the feeling for a moment that compassion for animals isn't completely alien, that it isn't impossible, that truly, it is simple common sense. It is a decency possessed by the overwhelming majority. They've simply to be reminded of it, and reminded enough that they can't ignore the depravity done in their name.

I seriously can not recommend a book to be read more than I recommend Dominion.
