This accessible and cutting-edge work offers a new look at the history of western 'civilization,' one that brings into focus the interrelated suffering of oppressed humans and other animals. Nibert argues persuasively that throughout history the exploitation of other animals has gone hand in hand with the oppression of women, people of color, and other oppressed groups. He maintains that the oppression both of humans and of other species of animals is inextricably tangled within the structure of social arrangements. Nibert asserts that human use and mistreatment of other animals are not natural and do little to further the human condition. Nibert's analysis emphasizes the economic and elite-driven character of prejudice, discrimination, and institutionalized repression of humans and other animals. His examination of the economic entanglements of the oppression of human and other animals is supplemented with an analysis of ideological forces and the use of state power in this sociological expose of the grotesque uses of the oppressed, past and present. Nibert suggests that the liberation of devalued groups of humans is unlikely in a world that uses other animals as fodder for the continual growth and expansion of transnational corporations and, conversely, that animal liberation cannot take place when humans continue to be exploited and oppressed.

While the dominant cultural narrative depicts the history of hunting, capturing, and killing of other animals as beneficial for human development, historical and contemporary evidence shows otherwise. This book reveals that the human practice of stalking, killing, exploiting, and eating other animals led to the social construction of a malev(i)olent and predacious form of masculinity and the start of human social stratification and oppression. Thereafter the course of human social development was placed on a deformative trajectory, leading to warfare, the emergence of deadly zoonotic disease, and terrorist-based colonial and imperialist orders. Primarily spread throughout the world by way of European conquests, and leading to the rise of capitalism, hunting and this violent and rapacious form of masculinity is continually promoted as ideal training for warfare and global domination, especially in the United States. As US-driven global violence and destruction accelerates in the 21st century, challenges to this dominant form of masculinity and its caustic capitalist progeny are essential for creating a peaceful and sustainable world.
