Download or read book Animal Death written by Jay Johnston and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal death is a complex, uncomfortable, depressing, motivating and sensitive topic. For those scholars participating in Human-Animal Studies, it is - accompanied by the concept of 'life' - the ground upon which their studies commence, whether those studies are historical, archaeological, social, philosophical, or cultural. It is a tough subject to face, but as this volume demonstrates, one at the heart of human-animal relations and human-animal studies scholarship. ... books have power. Words convey moral dilemmas. Human beings are capable of being moral creatures. So it may prove with the present book. Dear reader, be warned. Reading about animal death may prove a life-changing experience. If you do not wish to be exposed to that possibility, read no further ... In the end, by concentrating our attention on death in animals, in so many guises and circumstances, we, the human readers, are brought face to face with the reality of our world. It is a world of pain, fear and enormous stress and cruelty. It is a world that will not change anytime soon into a human community of vegetarians or vegans. But at least books like this are being written for public reflection. From the Foreword by The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG

Worse yet, you may think you are over-reacting and crazy—as he claims you are. Never Date a Dead Animal reveals: The early warning signs of the narcissistic sociopathic con-artist The covert psychological warfare of an abusive man The vicious, addictive cycle of abuse and its traumatic effects on its victim The callous pre-meditated end game of these personalities The sub-conscious mindsets which cause women to attract, fall in love with and commit to men who maltreat you

DeWildt doesn't pull a single punch, and it's refreshing to find an author who has the literary balls necessary to pull it off." - JJ Anderson, author of Trailer Park Juggernauts "In the rugged tradition of the best rural noir... these stories are brutal, sobering reminders that mankind is little more than animals who can talk, driven by instinct, defeated by inability, and always dangerous when cornered." - Joe Clifford, author of Junkie Love and Wake the Undertaker "Bleak, twisted, and not afraid to take risks. It's a haunting journey with surprisingly real characters - sometimes wonderfully odd, almost bizarre, but believable." - Chris Irvin, co-editor of Shotgun Honey Hear them shriek. See them live.
