Ninety-Five is a delightful and engaging anthology of writing
and photography by rescuers, caregivers, and those who love the animals. Each
animal is portrayed with high quality, full-color photographs and a short story
that demonstrate the animal's personality, depth, emotions, quirks,
relationships, and individuality. Some stories are quite dramatic and will
leave the reader awed and amazed; while others will simply show who an animal
is - from Justice, a steer who broke out of a truck on the way to the
slaughterhouse, who now is the self-appointed greeter at his sanctuary, to the
quiet happiness of Gilly, a small white hen rescued from a factory egg farm,
who found peace in a loving home. Galleries of photos of other farmed animals
will also engage the reader, and thumbnail photo footnotes provide additional
information.
*Ninety-Five is the average number of animal lives spared
annually by one person's vegan diet.

"How amazing it is to learn from this most
extraordinary book just how beautiful chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows and other
farm animals can be. This is a rare and life-changing book. It evokes a sense
of wonder, joy and awe, and a recognition of how interwoven we are with all of
life."
-- John Robbins, author of The New Good Life and
Diet For A New America
"One of the most beautiful books I have ever seen, in
every respect: the photographs, the loving stories, the philosophy behind the
stories, the delightful tales, the sheer exuberance of the animals and their
human companions - it is a perfect book! ... Captures something missing from
almost all other books about farmed animals. There is so much heart in this
book, to rival the heart that the animals themselves display."

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of When Elephants Weep, The Pig Who
Sang to the Moon and The Face on Your Plate
"The animal agriculture industry has long treated
farm animals like mere commodities, systematically abusing and killing roughly
10 billion each year in the U.S. But after meeting farm animals face to face,
and opening themselves up to lessons the animals have to share, many people
come to recognize that these beings feel joy, love, fear, pain, and sorrow just
like we do. By bringing animal ambassadors forward through stunning portraits
and inspiring stories, Ninety-Five offers opportunities for positive change and
hope for a more compassionate future.
