Excellent- More about Saving Animals: Multispecies Ecologies of Rescue and Care
Saving Animals is the first major ethnography to focus on the ethical issues animating the establishment of animal sanctuaries in the US, where animals who have been mistreated or destined for slaughter are allowed to live out their lives. Elan Abrell asks what "saving," "caring for," and "sanctuary" actually mean and explores the ethical decision-making around sanctuary efforts to unmake property-based human-animal relations by creating spaces in which humans interact with animals as autonomous subjects.

In the past three decades, animal rights advocates have established a wide range of innovative and groundbreaking initiatives, ranging from elephant sanctuaries in Africa to shelters that rehabilitate animals used in medical testing, to homes for farmed animals, abandoned pets, and entertainment animals that have outlived their "usefulness." Saving Animals is the first comprehensive ethnography to delve into the ethical considerations driving the establishment of these unique spaces, where animals who have been mistreated or destined for slaughter are given the opportunity to live out their lives simply as animals.
Through extensive fieldwork at animal rescue facilities across the United States, Elan Abrell explores the profound meaning of terms such as "saving," "caring for," and "sanctuary." He views sanctuaries as laboratories where caregivers conceive and implement innovative models of caring for and relating to animals. He delves into the ethical decision-making processes surrounding sanctuary efforts to challenge property-based human-animal relations by creating spaces where humans can interact with animals as autonomous subjects.
Saving Animals offers a captivating portrayal of how caregivers and animals respond by cocreating new human-animal ecologies that are tailored to the unique material and social conditions of the Anthropocene. By bridging anthropology with animal studies and political philosophy, Saving Animals prompts us to envision less harmful modes of existence in a world where both animals and humans seek sanctuary.
