Title: Without a tear: Our tragic relationship with
animals

Book Review: Tear ducts in humans are different than
those in animals: animals cannot cry. If
they could, Bernstein proposes the ethics of people would change and a
reexamination of how humans and animals are valued would occur. People would then willingly make changes in
their personal lives to stop the gratuitious suffering they now unwittingly
impose on animals. Berstein covers the areas of factory farming and animal
experimentation (vivisection) without disturbing graphics, as well as animal
law and the history of oppression for both animals and women. Bernstein would like this book to be a
"wake-up" call for humanity.
Oh, if only it were that simple!
