Eggshells, antlers, dung, blood - anyone getting hungry? These are just some of the strange dinners that tempt animals from around the world. Some creatures gobble skin and clothing. Others lap up ooze and vomit. Though these foods may seem gross to us, they provide animals with important nutrients. Here's a sample from this book's buffet of disgusting delights: Some moths drink moisture from cows' eyes. Rats chew elephant toenails for oil. Slugs use toothy tongues to devour books and newspapers. Herring gull chicks and wolf pups eat vomit. And it's not only animals - people eat strange things too.

Does living with a pet really make people happier and healthier? What can we learn from biomedical research with mice? Who enjoys a better quality of life—–the chicken destined for your dinner plate or the rooster in a Saturday night cockfight? Why is it wrong to eat the family dog? Drawing on more than two decades of research into the emerging field of anthrozoology, the science of human–animal relations, Hal Herzog offers an illuminating exploration of the fierce moral conundrums we face every day regarding the creatures with whom we share our world. Alternately poignant, challenging, and laugh-out-loud funny—blending anthropology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy—this enlightening and provocative book will forever change the way we look at our relationships with other creatures and, ultimately, how we see ourselves.
