Review
Published 2 years after Silent Spring, Ruth Harrison's exposé of the quality of life of farmed animals in modern intensive agriculture had a profound effect on public opinion. It inspired a new generation to go vegetarian and is said to be the inspiration behind the first European Convention on the Protection of Farmed Animals.
