Saving Animals Multispecies Ecologies of Rescue and Care

"When Elan Abrell visited VINE, we put him to work mucking out the barn. He threw himself into the work whole-heartedly, seizing the opportunity to immerse himself in everyday life at the sanctuary. We could see that he understood why we require visitors to help co-create our community by adding their own labor to the mix. In Saving Animals, Abrell brings the same combination of vigor, rigor, and acuity to the challenge of thinking care-fully about the many ethical questions that arise in the course of rescue and sanctuary work."-pattrice jones, cofounder of VINE Sanctuary

"Groundbreaking in both its focus and its depth, Saving Animals is essential reading for anyone interested in the complexities of building less-exploitative relationships with animals, whether in the context of a sactuary or in one's home."-American Anthropologist
