Preface by Lamya Essemlali, President of Sea Shepherd France
The exploitation of animals captured and exhibited for the pleasure or entertainment of humans long predates the advent of the Roman Empire. The radical and subversive critique proposed by the author, here translated into French for the first time, does not exist in the French-speaking literary landscape. In this passionate and provocative book, Derrick Jensen explores in parallel the rationalizations and justifications for the existence of zoos, and the problem of our alienation from the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it. In this, he exposes the link between zoos and the ideology of domination and control at the origin of current ecological destruction (sixth mass extinction, global warming, pollution of soil, air and aquatic environments, deforestation, etc.)
This book is a powerful critique of the place of zoos in our society, of our society's place in the natural world, and ultimately of our own, as human beings, within the wild world.
