1: For the thinking activist
Karen Dawn's "Thanking the Monkey" takes a gentle, reasoned, just-the-facts-ma'am approach to animal rights on all dimensions--the ones exploited for food, the ones in fur farms, the ones kept in the "entertainment" businesses, the ones used in research laboratories, and even puppy mills and municipal breed bans against pit bulls. She uses pictures of her own dogs, pro-animal cartoons from such brilliant artists as Patrick McDonnell ("Mutts") and Dan Piraro ("Bizarro"), drawings, and quotes from pro-animal celebrities to take some weight from what can be some rather heavy subjects.
The last two sections deal with the environmental effects of animal exploitation and how some advocacy groups are shockingly anti-animal, and how the reader can put his or her knowledge into action.
Chock-full of resources and information, "Thanking the Monkey" is a perfect book for anyone concerned about animals and the environment.

2: Thanking the Monkey! Great!
Thanking the Monkey is a fresh take on Animal Rights! It takes on a difficult subject with intelligence and manages to be less heavy than most other books on the subject. For those ready to take on heavier books there are so many out there such as Dominion or Slaughterhouse.
Buy this now and learn the truth about our treatment of sentient beings.

3: A Must Read
This book is amazingly compiled and written.
It has a great standing and point of view anyone could respect.
I highly recommend this book to everyone I know.
I have had many thanks on those recommendations as well.
A must have book for animal lovers.
Not your typical horrific pictures and grotesque stories.
But rather tasteful facts!
Thanks To Karen Dawn for creating this book, that has altered my life and way of thinking for the better.

4: Karen Dawn is Awesome
Karen Dawn's book Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking The Way We Treat Animals is amazing. She makes you think about the way you are living your life and how by taking one step at a time you can make life better for animals and the environment. Karen is such a compassionate person and I feel that her book has made me think about ways I can get more involved in the Animal Protection Movement. This book will really make you Rethink the way you treat animals. This book is made for all people omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. As a vegan I hadn't been involved in the movement and thanks to Karen I have made the step to bring change for all animals. KAREN DAWN is the best and make sure you buy this book because it will change your life.

5: Life Changing
This book could have been written in a overly-dramatic, highly inflamatory way; however, it is carefully written, balanced, and even manages to use humor in at most unexpected places. Once you know, you can never go back to looking at milk, eggs, meat, fur, pets, circuses the same way ... and it's all for the good. Why not seek to move through this world with great awareness and compassion for all life with whom we share the planet?
