Fear of the animal planet - Jason Hribal

'Until the lion has its historian, the hunter will always be a hero'. Jason Hribal fulfils the promise of this proverb, taking the reader deep inside the circus, zoo and other animal operations providing insight into the hidden struggle and resistance that occurs daily. Chimpanzees escape their cages, elephants attack their trainers, orcas demand more food and tigers refuse to perform. An extraordinary collection of behind-the-scenes stories, Fear of the Animal Planet also makes a well-researched argument for the ethical treatment of animals.
