Animal writer Jeffery Moussaieff Masson loves writing on animals and showing the altruistic feelings many animals share with one another and members of other species. His work "Beasts" looks into how humans have misunderstood animals and claimed the high ground and authority over them and this belief has often led to our abuse of them. The violence of mankind towards one another and animals trough the ages should give us the term beasts as nothing in the animal kingdom can compare to what man has dished out on this planet. Masson pretty much themes up this issue throughout this book exploring the similar emotions animals share with us. He points it no animal except man hunts and kills for sporting pleasureand that animals only harm other animals out of necessity for food. His
chapters explore issues with single word headings such as conformity,cruel,War,Killing,Hatred among others looking at whether the are examples in the animal kingdom of these unique and disturbing trends of the one species that can inflict its morale superiority over all others. The author pretty much prove it is the human species that is the most dangerous and beast like of all living specimens today Nd basically prey on others with little reason. The for of stronger animals is animate human attitude and traits fearing something much more physically powerful than ourselves. Masson ends the book with a chapter devoted to wolves and the human worldwide obsession with eradicating and eliminating the species wherever they can find them. We have justified this violence through countless allegories through the ages about the blood-thirsty nature of this "beast" that Jeffery Moussaieff Masson points out is pure anthropomorphism that continues to this d with silly Hollywood movies portraying the Wolf as pure evil and naturally nefarious. This is a rea animal book from an author who has written many times about the greatness and how fortunate we are to share the world with these creatures of lesser "intelligence" to ours which have caused so much destruction and death towards others for profit,greed, and just natural cruelness which no other mammal shares.
