Editorial Reviews

"A smart little monograph that ranges across a wide variety of related
topics, including the ethics of using animals in entertainment . . .
Eccentric, but nonetheless intriguing."

Empire Magazine (UK) - Empire Magazine

"Deserves to influence debates about the cultural representation of animals
well beyond the bounds of film studies."
