1: Scully = Hypocrite
I just discovered that Matthew Scully is the speech writer for Sarah Palin, who you would assume to be the antithesis of all he believes in.
Apparently Dominion is nothing but empty words. And Scully, who claimed to support the rights of other living creatures on this planet, is nothing more than another unprincipled money-grabbing shill. What else could explain the willingness to embrace, and worse--promote, the very people who glorify wanton killing of animals.
Scully should take a long look in the mirror. He has betrayed the people who have promoted his book and his supposed philosophy. And worse, he has betrayed the creatures that he claimed to respect. The word 'Hypocrite' is not strong enough. Now that this Judas has made his 30 pieces of gold, he should forever be pictured with Sarah Palin and her dead trophies. He deserves no more.

2: Matthew is a hypocrite
While I enjoyed reading this book shortly after it came out (I am a vegetarian and pro animal rights), I was dismayed to learn that Matthew has gone back to writing speeches for the Bush administration. He wrote the VP acceptance speech for Sarah Palin, who is a ruthless hunter, supports aerial hunting, and believes that there is no global warming and that polar bears should not be protected.
How can a man who seems so compassionate as an author provide the verbal fodder for someone who has no mercy towards the suffering of animals? Please join me in boycotting this book.

3: author is not sincere!
Sarah Palin's speechwriter, Matthew Scully, is a perfect example of a lying, conscienceless writer who will do anything for money. Besides being a speechwriter for Bush and Palin, he is ALSO the author of THIS book, described by The New York Times as a "horrible, wonderful, important book," in large measure "because the author, an avowed conservative Republican and former speechwriter for George W. Bush, is an unexpected defender of the animals against the depredations of profit driven corporations, swaggering, gun-loving hunters, proponents of renewed 'harvesting' of whales and elephants and others who insist that all of nature is humanity's romper room, to play with, rearrange, and plunder at will." ..... So here is Scully putting his words in the mouth of a lying, merciless enemy of all animals and environmental causes. Too sickening for words.

4: You Can Never Turn Back Once You Know
I have this book and have been reading it (slowly) for several years. It will change the way you think about your fellow man and after you digest the horrors, it will forever change the way you act toward other sentient beings on this planet.

5: Amazing and eye-opening!
This was a great book. I am a vegetarian but this book made me think about the many others causes to animal suffering and a reason to look at myself and think about why we allow this to happen. A great read even for those who aren't vegetarians.
