Another book which broke my heart into pieces...We keep on wanting more and more, more and more, nothing satisfies us...And the ones who suffer the most because of our sins, are the innocent ones among us, the animals, who did not want more. I used "who" intentionally because otherwise it would be just speciesism. "A great deal of harm is being done to the environment, and thus to animals, in the name of “progress,” for the economic benefit of those who are already wealthy and have more than the...
This really touched my heart...above all else, do no harm
There is no specific main character in The Ten Trusts but I would like to point out the different animals and the different emotions which Jane and Mark bring to the reader's attention. The Gombe Chimpanzees feeling embarrassment is one of my favorite emotions shown in the book. When a younger male attempts to show off in front of his primate "hero" and as he shakes the twigs in the top of the tree, the small limb he was on snapped and he fell to the ground in front of his hero. Jane does a grea...
Having just recently read 100 Heartbeats by Jeff Corwin, this book seemed a bit repetitive and covered a lot of the same topics. When comparing the two books, though, I enjoyed this book more. The weird thing about it is that it had two authors, and when it would change who is writing/talking, Jane Goodall would be normal print, and the other author (Marc) in italics. That would get a bit choppy. Overall though, the book had good flow. It is another good book that makes you think about your own
Good Reads ReviewJillian Sala – Boham 8 I read the book “The Ten Trusts” by Jane Goodall and Marc Bekoff. I thought very highly of this book because it taught me a lot of awful things about the world and people. If you love animals and believe in the fair treatment of all animals, you should read this book. You’ll learn how brutal animals are treated during the food making process and how unfairly animals are treated for our entertainment. I think this book does a good job at making you realize
I enjoyed this a lot more than I anticipated I would. It was very informative and I agreed with so many of the points brought up throughout. I learned so much from this and I am so happy to have read something written by Jane Goodall, whom I admire very much.
Quitting this book just into the second chapter. I can't take these continuous descriptions of horrid animal abuse. I understand that her point is to make people aware of what animals go through, but I am well aware. I can't take reading about it.
One of the books that inspired me to become a vegetarian. Loved it!
Goodall, along with co-author Marc Bekoff, begins by relating true stories of clever and caring animal behavior, such as extrasensory (to us)perception, astounding migration over great distances, saving the lives of humans or individuals of other species. She follows this up with a review of issues relating to animal cruelty: medical research and student dissection, circuses and zoos, fur, meat-eating, poaching and deliberate habitat destruction, and much more. The authors' tone is friendly, not...
A fine book which addresses various aspects of animal welfare, animal rights and what can be done to assist in providing a better life for the animals of the world. Written by two well known activists, this is an easy read even if the subject matter isnt always comfortable.Having read quite a few books of this type I find I am looking for something new in this area. I recommend this book to those who are newish to animal rights, or people looking for specific stories and experiences as related b...
This would be a good book for someone interested in and just getting started learning about animal welfare.
This book is an interesting read for those who are into wildlife conservation and animals rights. It was a bit much for me though. The horrific stories of animalAbuse and exploitation seemed to emphasize what, to me, seemed like the overall theme: human beings are sh*t. We wreck stuff, and kill animals. We are cruel and thoughtless. It wasn’t until the last chapter of the book that they began talking about anything positive, what we can do to change the plight of these poor animals. I skimmed th...
I first bought this book when I was 13 and I'm now 24. Im so glad I re-read this. Its been so long that I forgot that a lot of my opinions around the environment and how I view relationships with animals were shaped by this book. I like the realistic approach of the sentiments expressed over the often totalitarian view of many environmental books. the authors acknowledge that change wont come overnight, that humans will likely never stop eating meat or using animals and instead of berating peopl...
After recently seeing the moving and intimate Jane Goodall biopic, made up of 140 hours of footage tucked away in the National Geographic archives for 50 years, I had to re-read this amazing book. Concerned with the problems in our chaotic modern world — overpopulation, pollution, global warming, deforestation — Goodall made a list of what we can do to help preserve and care for the multitude of wonderful creatures struggling to survive. Millions of people do not realize how closely connected we...
