Reviews
'From civets horribly confined to produce perfume scent to elephants killed for ivory billiard balls and piano keys, Cowie demonstrates how fashion "valued" animals, even while letters to the RSPCA illustrated concern for animal agency and welfare. Contemporary debates surrounding nonhuman animals' victimization are rooted in the human animal's propensity to display.' Abel Alves, Ball State University

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
