Review Quotes: "Beilin argues that Spain provides an important model for understanding not just cruelty to animals, but, by extension, other injustices related to bioethics, the politics of life, and ecology. This book is the first to take an animal studies perspective as its point of departure in the examination of contemporary Spanish literature and culture." --John Beusterien, Texas Tech University
