Leaving the Wild (Ehringer) - Discussion Questions

Discussion Questions
We'll add publisher questions if and when they're available; in the meantime, use our LitLovers talking points to help start a discusion for Leaving the Wild … then take off on your own:

1. In what way does Gavin Ehringer see animal domestication as a double-edged sword?

2. What does the author suggest we can do to improve the lives of the animals in our care?

3. What do you see as the best and the worst cases in terms of how we have used science in our treatment of animals?

4. Talk about pitbulls. What are some of the ongoing controversies surrounding that breed? Have you known pitbulls — either a pure bred or a mixed breed?

5. How does Ehringer view the future of the cow?
