In 'A Plea for the Animals', Matthieu Ricard presents a moral, philosophical, and evolutionary argument for treating all beings with compassion. The book explores the history of the relations between humans and animals, the effects of industrial breeding and meat eating on poverty, the environment, and health, and examines the illegal trade in wildlife and the use of animals in entertainment and experimentation. Ricard advocates for animal rights and human obligations, making an appeal to reason and to human kindness.
Matthieu Ricard is a Nepalese French writer, photographer, translator and Buddhist monk who resides at Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Nepal.
