Book Reviews of Fifteen Legs: When all that stands between death and freedom is a ride
Book Review: 15 Legs: A Story Everyone Needs to Know
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an important and relevant story that raises consciousness about the terrible waste of animal life. In the USA we kill 5-9 million adoptable animals per year: cats, dogs, and rabbits, in that order, for no other reason that they cannot find homes. Only a small number of them get rescued by these dedicated people who do the best they can for these animals against insurmountable odds. They are heroes and the animals they rescue are the lucky ones.
For those of you who think that rescuers are anthropomorphizing, be reminded that we are all mammals. Recent scientific advances in brain scanning reveal that we all react the same way when in pain, feeling fear or contentment. That suggests that we mammals all have common emotional experiences.
This is a story worth reading and a lifestyle worth considering.
