Hurricane Katrina raised public attention about how disasters affect dogs, cats, and other animals considered members of the human family. In this short but powerful book, noted sociologist Leslie Irvine goes beyond Katrina to examine how disasters like oil spills, fires, and other calamities affect various animal populations-on factory farms, in research facilities, and in the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFilling the Ark\u003c\/i\u003e argues that humans cause most of the risks faced by animals and urges for better decisions about the treatment of animals in disasters. Furthermore, it makes a broad appeal for the ethical necessity of better planning to keep animals out of jeopardy. Irvine not only offers policy recommendations and practical advice for evacuating animals, she also makes a strong case for rethinking our use of animals, suggesting ways to create more secure conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Irvine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1592138357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781592138357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Leslie Irvine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989195260159,"sku":"9781592138357","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28d54397-ee70-4eeb-9b65-02e0029e16c5.jpg?v=1683298117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/filling-the-ark-leslie-irvine-9781592138357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
