Combining the intellect of Malcolm Gladwell with the irreverent humor of Mary Roach and the paradigm-shifting analysis of Jared Diamond, a leading social scientist offers an unprecedented look inside our complex and often paradoxical relationships with animals, in "Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat". Does living with a pet really make people happier and healthier? What can we learn from biomedical research with mice? Who enjoyed a better quality of life - the chicken on a dinner plate or the rooster who died in a Saturday-night cockfight? Why is it wrong to eat the family dog? Drawing on more than two decades of research in the emerging field of anthrozoology, the science of human-animal relations, Hal Herzog offers surprising answers to these and other questions related to the moral conundrums we face day in and day out regarding the creatures with whom we share our world. "Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat" is a highly entertaining and illuminating journey through the full spectrum of human-animal relations, based on Dr. Herzog's groundbreaking research on animal rights activists, cockfighters, professional dog-show handlers, veterinary students, and biomedical researchers. Blending anthropology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy, Herzog carefully crafts a seamless narrative enriched with real-life anecdotes, scientific research, and his own sense of moral ambivalence. Alternately poignant, challenging, and laugh-out-loud funny, this enlightening and provocative book will forever change the way we look at our relationships with other creatures and, ultimately, how we see ourselves.

讀畢海爾．賀佐格(Hal Herzog)《為什麼狗是寵物？豬是食物？ : 人類與動物之間的道德難題》（原名是”Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat : Why It's So Hard to Think Straight About Animals”）雖然我期待它能給予我有關動物道德的解答，但果然這個議題是沒法子得出令...

Our only consistency about animals is our inconsistency. 速读一过。有意思。如：原始部落三分之二的蛋白来自肉食。素食者的指标并不好于肉食者。动物治疗基本是扯。

通俗易懂，结论就是道德既不能全凭感觉，又不能全凭逻辑。所谓所谓文化如基因一样不断自我复制的理论，感觉半信半疑

3.5吧，没有解答困惑，只是更进一步证明了人类与动物的关系就是一团mess

捡起这本书的时候以为是随手翻翻的light reading，没料到讨论的其实是人与动物关系的很严肃的话题。作者到底是科学家，不是空喊口号的白左，很多观点我都赞同。

是我喜欢的那类书：无用的知识。这本讲动物伦理的积累了作者毕生的研究成果，面面俱到又中立客观。唯一的缺点是这类的英文书的通病：比较啰嗦。
