ABOUT THE BOOK
Disposable Lives: The Animal Crisis Paradox exposes the uncomfortable contradiction at the heart of American culture: we proudly call ourselves a nation of animal lovers, yet millions of dogs, cats, and other companion animals are abandoned, surrendered, neglected, and killed every year.
Drawing on decades of frontline experience as an animal advocate and psychotherapist, Marci Elliott reframes the pet overpopulation crisis not as an animal problem—but a human one. This book asks the question few are willing to confront:
How can love and disposability exist at the same time—and what must change now?
