This book is so overrated. Between the author trying to justify why it's better for animals to live in captivity and then showing multiple examples of why that's not true and then the awful brutal way that animals die in the book it's difficult to get to all this deep sybolism that people are raving about. The book moves very slowly at points and in the end I'm not really sure what the purpose of all the suffering was.
