In her groundbreaking book, Thinking Animals: Why Animal Studies Now, Lori Gruen argues that we need to rethink our relationship with animals. She challenges the traditional view of animals as mere objects, and instead argues that they are sentient beings who deserve our respect and compassion.

Gruen draws on a wide range of evidence to support her claims, including scientific studies, philosophical arguments, and literary works. She shows that animals are capable of feeling pain, joy, fear, and other emotions. They are also capable of learning, problem-solving, and communicating. In short, animals are thinking beings who have their own unique experiences and perspectives on the world.
