"Everybody who is interested in the ethics of our relationship between humans and animals should read this book." —Temple Grandin, New York Times–bestselling author
A maverick scientist reveals the inconsistent and often paradoxical ways humans think, feel, and behave toward animals in this engaging, informative, and though-provoking book, now newly revised.
Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat is a highly entertaining and illuminating journey through the full spectrum of human-animal relations. Drawing on his groundbreaking research in the field of anthrozoology, Dr. Hal Herzog tries to make sense of our complex relationships with animals and the challenging moral conundrums we face regarding these creatures who share our world—and some, our homes. 
A blend of anthropology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy, updated to reflect evolving attitudes and the most recent findings, Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat is a poignant, often challenging, and frequently laugh-out-loud funny trip through a world of animal rights activists, cockfighters, professional dog-show handlers, veterinary students, biomedical researchers, and more. It will forever change the way we think about other living creatures and, ultimately, how we see ourselves.
"A fascinating, thoughtful, and thoroughly enjoyable exploration of a major dimension of human experience." —Steven Pinker, New York Times–bestselling author
"I don't know when I've read anything more comprehensive about our highly involved, highly contradictory relationships with animals . . . You won't forget it anytime soon." —Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, New York Times–bestselling author
"Reminiscent of Freakonomics . . . An agreeable guide to popular avenues of inquiry in the field of anthrozoology." —The New Yorker
