Recenzii

“Breier’s interdisciplinary methods … and the pictures he leaves us with are fittingly varied and complex … . To take an image from the Book of Mark, having prepared so much good ground so carefully, Breier is to be commended for sowing these many mustard seeds. The concluding portions of each chapter serve to marshal broad and disparate textual evidence into a series of manageable overviews that may act as fertile starting points for further ethical analysis.” (Alastair Harden, Journal of Animal Ethics, Vol. 13 (2), 2023)
