«Plaidoyer pour les animaux» is the essay by Matthieu Ricard, published by Pocket in paperback (468 pages, in French).
It denounces the 60 billion land animals and one trillion marine animals slaughtered each year for consumption, an ethical challenge that worsens hunger, health, and ecological imbalances. It examines trafficking, experimentation, and entertainment involving animals, and proposes seeing them as «fellow citizens» to extend benevolence to all sentient beings.
The French Pocket edition is revised and expanded by the author; the work was originally published in 2014.
Suitable for readers interested in animal advocacy, vegetarianism, ecology, and applied ethics from a Buddhist perspective.
Matthieu Ricard is a Nepalese French writer, photographer, translator and Buddhist monk who resides at Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Nepal.
