Book excerpt: In 2002, a tiny, golden puppy was born without one of her front legs. Her other front leg was badly deformed, leaving her unable to walk. The Stringfellow family adopted the puppy and named her Faith. However, they worried that little Faith might never be able to walk on her own. As Faith got older and stronger, the Stringfellows helped her to balance on her hind legs. Eventually, they used peanut butter to coax her to walk all by herself on only two legs! This is just one of the many inspiring stories found in Disabled Dogs. Some dogs, like Faith, are missing legs, while others do not have the ability to see or hear. Whatever the challenge, young readers will be amazed at how these dogs are able to lead full and active lives, and provide hope to people who have similar disabilities. With dramatic, full-color photos of these extra-special canines, this book is sure to warm the hearts of dog lovers everywhere.

The woman gave her to me and said, 'Please take care of her.' Then she started crying and ran away! I was left there alone, holding this disfigured, bloody puppy in my hands, thinking, 'What is next?'" -Adhara Talamantes

Book Synopsis Beasts of Burden by : Sunaura Taylor
Download or read book Beasts of Burden written by Sunaura Taylor and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2018 American Book Award Winner A beautifully written, deeply provocative inquiry into the intersection of animal and disability liberation—and the debut of an important new social critic How much of what we understand of ourselves as “human” depends on our physical and mental abilities—how we move (or cannot move) in and interact with the world? And how much of our definition of “human” depends on its difference from “animal”? Drawing on her own experiences as a disabled person, a disability activist, and an animal advocate, author Sunaura Taylor persuades us to think deeply, and sometimes uncomfortably, about what divides the human from the animal, the disabled from the nondisabled—and what it might mean to break down those divisions, to claim the animal and the vulnerable in ourselves, in a process she calls “cripping animal ethics.” Beasts of Burden suggests that issues of disability and animal justice—which have heretofore primarily been presented in opposition—are in fact deeply entangled. Fusing philosophy, memoir, science, and the radical truths these disciplines can bring—whether about factory farming, disability oppression, or our assumptions of human superiority over animals—Taylor draws attention to new worlds of experience and empathy that can open up important avenues of solidarity across species and ability. Beasts of Burden is a wonderfully engaging and elegantly written work, both philosophical and personal, by a brilliant new voice.

Book Synopsis Animal Oppression and Capitalism by : David Nibert
Download or read book Animal Oppression and Capitalism written by David Nibert and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important two-volume set unapologetically documents how capitalism results in the oppression of animals ranging from fish and chickens to dogs, elephants, and kangaroos as well as in environmental destruction, vital resource depletion, and climate change. Most traditional narratives portray humanity's use of other animals as natural and necessary for human social development and present the idea that capitalism is generally a positive force in the world. But is this worldview accurate, or just a convenient, easy-to-accept way to ignore what is really happening—a systematic oppression of animals that simultaneously results in environmental destruction and places insurmountable obstacles in the path to a sustainable and peaceful future? David Nibert's Animal Oppression and Capitalism is a timely two-volume set that calls into question the capitalist system at a point in human history when inequality and the imbalance in the distribution of wealth are growing domestically and internationally. Expert contributors show why the oppression of animals—particularly the use of other animals as food—is increasingly being linked to unfavorable climate change and the depletion of fresh water and other vital resources. Readers will also learn about the tragic connections between the production of animal products and global hunger and expanded regional violence and warfare, and they will understand how many common human health problems—including heart attacks, strokes, and various forms of cancer—develop as a result of consuming animal products.
Download or read book Lost Souls written by Kyla Duffy and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people with giant hearts set out to help pets with disabilities. Other people somehow come to have special-needs pets before they realize how blessed they are to have received the pet they needed, even if it wasn't necessarily the pet they wanted at first. Whatever the case, many people find that their “special-abled” pets have added a new dimension to their lives that no readily-adoptable pet ever could. The book is for them! Since 2009, the heartwarming "Lost Souls: FOUND!" series has entertained and inspired people, helping many to see the rewards of adopting abused, neglected, and “less-adoptable” animals. This next book in the series is focused specifically on animals who have overcome (or are working to overcome) disabilities. There is no way around it: these stories will inspire YOU! A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF PROCEEDS FROM EVERY SALE IS DONATED BACK TO RESCUE GROUPS. Excerpt:The “D” Word: Many people use the word 'disability' to describe you and me. Some things we do well, and some things we don't, but it's not because we don't try. There are many words that start with 'D' that better describe us: Daring, Driven, Dedicated, Determined, Diligent, Dauntless, Dashing, Dapper, Delightful, Devoted, Dignified, Dynamic, Dandy. We're not disabled. We're uniquely-enabled, and we can do amazing things.” –Eric Melvin, inspired by Angelyne “The Amazing” DEAF Cattle Dog

The authors conclude with specific recommendations for more consistent government action.
