Rethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of Americas Forgotten People and Pets - Carol Mithers

Detalii:

NOW WITH A NEW AFTERWORD ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE PALISADES FIRE ON ANIMAL RESCUES IN LOS ANGELES nRethinking Rescue boldly confronts two of the biggest challenges of our time--poverty and homelessness--in asking the question: Who deserves the love of a pet? n nIn Los Angeless most underserved communities, Lori Weise is known as the Dog Lady, the woman whos spent decades caring for people in poverty and the animals that love them. Long before anyone else, Weise grasped that animal and human suffering are inextricably connected and created a new rescue narrative: an enduring safety net empowering pet owners and providing resources to reduce the number of pets coming into shelters. n nRethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of Americas Forgotten People and Pets unites the causes of animal welfare and social justice, moving between Weises story and that of the larger U.S. rescue movement. Through captivating storytelling and investigative reporting, Carol Mithers examines the consequences of bias within this overwhelmingly white movement, where an overemphasis on placing animals in affluent homes disregards pet owners in poverty. Weises innovative and ultimately triumphant efforts revealed a better way. n nAs cities across the country witness some of the worst housing crises in history, and as the population of unhoused people and pets continues to skyrocket, Rethinking Rescue offers a story of compassion and hope.n
