This project, by the Centaur Press, has been initiated in order to publish books which trace the connection between our often lamentable behaviour towards each other and our thoughtless and cruel exploitation of non-human species. There is, seemingly, a demand from those concerned about human and animal suffering for new books by contemporary authors, and for the re-issue of long-unobtainable works of special merit on the philosophy, politics and social implications of man's use or misuse of animals.
