So excited to receive the advance copies of our forthcoming book 'What Are Zoos For?'. Available for preorder now: https://t.co/F7VQfkFoii

@kcmilani Agree that this is some zoos, but it's not my experience with most of the better zoos

[Dr Heather Browning (Veit) @zoophilosophy]

Our book came out today 🥳
In 'What Are Zoos For?' we examine the common justifications for zoos and argue that zoos are (or should be) for animals, placing animal welfare at the centre of their operations.
Order here, or through most online booksellers:

@ThatZooKid Not neutral - we definitely have our own point of view - but we aimed for a fair treatment of both sides

Congratulations to Heather Browning, whose book 'What Are Zoos For' is out this week! @Soton_SIAH @HumanitiesUoS

Are #Zoos an anachronism in the 21st century when we can watch animals in their natural habitat, close-up from our couches without worrying about cruelty?

@zoophilosophy and @wrwveit disagree, but they acknowledge there is a case to be answered. @geomill https://t.co/sTFPqHMSqD

@SameiHuda Haha yes, UK book designers probably not thinking about the US context ... I wonder if it will launch a different cover there?

[Dr Heather Browning (Veit) @zoophilosophy]

@jk_malinowska Definitely controversial! I hope we have managed a fair coverage of all the issues

[Dr Heather Browning (Veit) @zoophilosophy]

@tyler_m_john Yay! Enjoy your break and whatever is coming next ❤️

I’m excited to announce my new book Consider the Turkey, which reveals some surprising details about the lives of the birds who end up on Thanksgiving tables across America. Check out this short book to inform yourself on what you are eating, including some plant-based recipe ideas.

Good luck to the @humaneleagueuk today in its case against "Frankenchickens" at the Court of Appeal. As you can see from the Court's website, the legal issues are incredibly intricate and complex.

[Dr Heather Browning (Veit) @zoophilosophy]

Very excited that our book launch is now only 2 weeks away! Come join us if you can
