Cruelty-Free Living
Has Never Been So Easy
"The genius of this book is that it takes you right where you are, and points the way to actions and resources that allow caring for animals to be what it should be: easy, simple and hugely rewarding."
--John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America, founder, EarthSave
The rewards of a compassionate attitude toward animals are not often heralded in an economy concerned mostly with industrial growth, but Karen Lee Stevens' new book shows that practicing even small acts of respect and tenderness for animals can deeply enrich our everyday lives. All for Animals--Tips and Inspiration for Living a More Compassionate Life explores the many ways in which we can show appreciation and consideration for not only our own companion animals, but for all of the animals who share our earth.
To show the lasting personal effects of a relationship with animals, Karen includes many uplifting stories from contributing writers who share their own experiences of learning from their encounters with animals. In addition to these stories, there are dozens of tips on purchasing household products, cosmetics, and personal care items that have not been tested on animals; suggestions for coexisting peacefully with wildlife; how to be healthier through our food choices; useful strategies on how to curb the pet overpopulation problem; and much more. Karen does not force her ideas upon her audience, but simply urges her readers to adopt those changes he or she feels comfortable with and to experience the emotional rewards for themselves. Complete with a foreword by John Robbins, an author and founder of EarthSave, who has devoted his life to the welfare of all species, All for Animals is an accessible and essential handbook for anyone who cares about animals and the environment.
Karen Lee Stevens is the founder of All for Animals, a pro-animal organization based in Santa Barbara, California. Through her web site (www.allforanimals.com), online newsletter, and numerous magazine and newspaper articles, Karen seeks to educate consumers about cruelty-free living and respect for all animals. All for Animals is her first book.
