How to Love Animals

A far-reaching, urgent, and thoroughly engaging exploration of our relationship with animals from the acclaimed Financial Times journalist.

This might be the worst time in history to be an animal. But is there a happier way?

Factory farms, climate change, deforestation, and pandemics have made our relationship with other species unsustainable. In response, Henry Mance sets out on a personal quest to see if there is a fairer way to live alongside the animals we love. He goes to work in an abattoir and on a farm to investigate the reality of eating meat and dairy. He explores our dilemmas around overfishing the seas, visiting zoos, and owning pets, and he meets the chefs, activists, scientists, and tech visionaries who are redefining how we think about animals.
