Survival at Stake: How Our Treatment of Animals Is Key to Human Existence
By Poorva Joshipura

Science now recognises the consciousness, intelligence, emotional capacity, and even moral awareness of other animals, and with this awareness comes an ethical imperative to uphold our responsibilities toward all sentient beings.

But there’s another reason to consider other animals’ well-being: It’s intertwined with our own.

In Survival at Stake, Poorva argues that humans have far more in common with other animals than many people care to believe, and we’re all connected. She examines how hunting leads to pandemics and epidemics, raising animals for meat destroys forests and fuels the climate catastrophe, blood sports hurt both humans and other animals, leather production damages the environment and human health, animal experimentation is often a threat to public health, cruelty to animals is a precursor for violent crimes against humans, and more.
