Eva Meijer's latest book delves into the innovative concept of forming democratic relationships with animals, presenting a thought-provoking perspective on how humans can engage with non-human beings. This profound work challenges traditional views of politics and ethics, advocating for a more inclusive approach that respects the voices and experiences of animals.
Meijer argues that recognizing the agency of animals is essential for fostering a more equitable society.

Through compelling arguments and insightful analysis, the author encourages readers to rethink their relationships with animals, urging a shift from dominance to partnership. This transformative perspective not only enriches our understanding of democracy but also calls for a re-evaluation of how we coexist with the diverse beings that share our world.
