Excellent and constructive read. - By: rita wing, 02 Feb 2008
A reallly clear political exposition, which helps provide solid philosophical underpinnings to veganism & a way forward for animal rights' thinking which does not include a lot of "they're-just-like-us-no-they're-not" irrelevancies. Very readable, too! Highly recommended.
The most interesting book on animal rights philosophy for sometime? - By: Kj Watkinson, 10 Jan 2008
'With a focus on labour, property & the life of commodities, Making a Killing contains key insights into the broad nature of domination, power & hierarchy. It explores the intersections between human & animal oppressions in relation to the exploitative dynamics of capitalism.'

Not many books like this about, it looks at some of the structural issues at play which create & enforce the role of animals as objects to be utilised for the economic growth of society.

I've only just started reading it, but at last a book that seems to pull together different aspects of discrimination & exploitation under the capitalist umbrella. Animal rights is after alll a lot more than just 'animal rights'!
