The Summary: Good afternoon VegNews Book Clubbers, and happy Friday! We are now at the end of our third week of reading Fear of the Animal Planet by Jason Hribal. Unfortunately, there was no participation in the discussion this week, so I'll just keep the wrap up brief. Though upsetting, I think this book is very informative about what is happening behind the scenes of zoos, circuses, and other places that exhibit and exploit animals. As Hribal explains, these stories are usually covered up, or at least portrayed in way to make the situation not look as bad as it really is. This is truly upsetting, and I'm glad that there are books like this one out there that are not afraid to tell the truth.
Next week will be the last discussion of the book, as well as the last discussion of the VegNews Book Club. Please have the rest of the book read by then—I look forward to our conversation!
