I am a secondary school teacher and I have recently done a scheme of work with my cultural studies and PSHE classes all about animal testing. This topic really intrigued me, and has inspired me to try harder to go cruelty-free with my cosmetics.
This book has further developed my knowledge on this topic. There was so much in this book considering how short it was. I definitely learnt a lot.
I liked how this book covered many aspects of animal cruelty - not just animal testing.
There's a lot to take away from reading this book and I definitely recommend this book to everyone!

As a vegetarian, I think that this book was awesome. Sources are here, facts are here, no one can deny that we hurt animals. It’s incredibly well written, so everyone can read it. Definitely a must have.

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. It's a great resource and a lovely way to get children to think about animal rights. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

thank you netgalley for giving me this arc! as a teenage vegetarian i found this book super insightful and there was a lot to take away from it. i particularly loved the voice of this book and how instead of creating rules, they made suggestions and gave alternatives! this book was never boring and wasn't overrun by facts an statistics whilst still having a steady supply of data to back up the points. this book gave me a lot to think about and i think anyone could find this helpful!

This is a book everyone should read! In a clear, easy to understand way it discusses many topics involving animal cruelty, from farm factory to exotic pets. I thought it very good that climate change, overconsumption and biodiversity loss are also discussed, as these also have a huge impact on many animals.
Without judging people the writer gives her opinion on every topic, she encourages her readers to think and make their own decisions. I highly recommend everyone reading this. This Book Is Cruelty Free should be in every school's library!

I really enjoyed reading this book! Initially I was intrigued by the premise but I think it's valuable in terms of creating animal awareness and taking into consideration animal rights.

I am not a vegan or vegetarian but reading this book gave me a lot to think about! Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to receive this book for a review. It is well written with many informative information on animal cruelty.

Linda Newberry has written a book for young adults and adults on how to lessen humanity's harmful effects on animals. She is an activist and following the reading of the book, I find myself being more thoughtful on my lifestyle choices and how they affect the animals of the earth. I highly recommend this book!

I particularly enjoyed the chapter entitled, "We Don't Need Meet To Be Healthy" where she describes how she became a vegetarian and then a vegan. Part of her reasoning is the cruelty wreaked on cattle and chickens.

"The unavoidable issue with both mass dairy and egg production is that male chicks and calves are of no use in intensive systems, male chicks are killed at a few days old. Like other mammals, dairy cows don't produce milk unless they have calves; but their calves are taken away from them, often immediately after birth, and are either killed or reared for veal. . . . . .If you cut out dairy products and eggs as well as meat, you're distancing yourself from this kind of cruelty." (page 67)

A wonderful aspect of the book is the information in the appendix. It contains such gems as organizations and websites dedicated to a cruelty=free world, significant people such as Jane Goodall and Greta Thunberg along with their webpages, and even some cool vegan recipes. So not only does the book speak about being cruelty free, it gives the readers tools to become more active in that endeavor.
