From the back cover:

‘”The animals’ Magna Carta.” – Jane Goodall, from the Foreword

“[Rattling the Cage] is more than just a book about animal rights.  It is a book about equality, liberty, freedom, and justice eloquently expressed within a scientific, religious, legal, and philosophical framework.” – New York Law Journal

“One of those rare books that are deeply troubling in the best sense of the word, intellectually and ethically.” – Edward O. Wilson, Harvard University

“An admirably clear exposition…likely to become an important document for the animal-rights movement.” – Nature Neuroscience

“Represents what the animal-rights lobby has hitherto lacked:  a charismatic advocate with a detailed grasp of both science and law, and a reputation of indisputable credibility.” – London Sunday Independent’
