Ninety-Five: Meeting America's Farmed Animals in Stories and Photographs
"If the eyes really are the window into the soul, this book surely has you glimpsing the Beloved.  The loveliness and resilience of these creatures never ceases to humble me." --Endorsement from Kathy Freston, Author of Quantum Wellness"Profoundly evocative and entirely to the point, Ninety-Five will leave readers forever changed."  --Endorsement from Rory Freedman, #1 NY Times best selling author, Skinny BitchHow amazing it is to learn from this most extraordinary book just how beautiful chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows and other farm animals can be. This is a rare and life-changing book. It evokes a sense of wonder, joy and awe, and a recognition of how interwoven we are with all of life. --John Robbins, author of The New Good Life and Diet For A New AmericaOne of the most beautiful books I have ever seen, in every respect: the photographs, the loving stories, the philosophy behind the stories, the delightful tales, the sheer exuberance of the animals and their human companions - it is a perfect book! ... Captures something missing from almost all other books about farmed animals. There is so much heart in this book, to rival the heart that the animals themselves display.  --Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of When Elephants Weep, The Pig Who Sang to the Moon and The Face on Your PlateThe animal agriculture industry has long treated farm animals like mere commodities, systematically abusing and killing roughly 10 billion each year in the U.S. But after meeting farm animals face to face, and opening themselves up to lessons the animals have to share, many people come to recognize that these beings feel joy, love, fear, pain, and sorrow just like we do. By bringing animal ambassadors forward through stunning portraits and inspiring stories, Ninety-Five offers opportunities for positive change and hope for a more compassionate future.
