Essay by Jean-Marc Gancille with a preface by Paul Watson.
"The human species consciously, voluntarily kills more than 2 million animals every minute worldwide. In other words, in one week, it slaughters 50 times more animals than the total number of human victims of all the wars in human history."
In this new essay, Jean-Marc Gancille presents an uncompromising picture of the relationship that human beings have formed with the animal world, based on domination and exploitation, dating back even before the birth of agriculture. Religious sacrifices, collections and trade in wild animals, domestication, the use of animals for military purposes or laboratory experiments, forced captivity in zoos and aquariums, recreational hunting and fishing, intensive farming or overfishing... The list of forms that anthropocentrism adopts is endless.
The author does not stop at this bleak assessment. He demonstrates that this carnage is not only an eternal hell for animals but also a tragedy for the human species due to the destruction of ecosystems it causes, an immoral denial of animal sentience, and a deception by the food industry, which maintains the necessity of consuming animal protein to the public. Finally, he outlines a course of action to "put an end to anthropocentrism" legally, nutritionally, agriculturally... and on the methods to lead this fight.
