Michelle Fern welcomes Bill Wasik and Monica Murphy, authors of OUR KINDRED CREATURES: How Americans Came to Feel the Way They Do About Animals. This fascinating work of nonfiction dives into the three decades after the Civil War when the attitude of the American public towards animals radically changed. OUR KINDRED CREATURES makes a case for seeing the fight over animal cruelty as a crucial thread in America's history. Readers are introduced to the activists, scientists, and moguls who helped create our modern views on animals, with our intense compassion for certain species and ignorant disregard for others.
