Emmerman develops relational vegan ecofeminism, a framework that takes animals' moral standing seriously while also acknowledging the emotional, cultural, and familial stakes woven into human traditions. Rather than treating veganism as a simple matter of ethical prioritization, Emmerman shows that refusing a grandmother's lovingly prepared chicken soup, or rejecting a family hunting tradition, carries profound relational weight. These moments produce \"moral remainders\" of lingering hurt, regret, or estrangement that persists even when we make the best \u003ci\u003eethical \u003c\/i\u003echoice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough richly contextual analysis, Emmerman argues that ethical life requires more than clear principles: it requires relational moral attention, a practice of empathy, repair, curiosity, and mutual recognition. Balancing philosophical rigor with narrative warmth, the book illuminates the tensions, grief, and possibilities at the heart of living ethically in a speciesist world. \u003ci\u003eDefending Animals, Disappointing People\u003c\/i\u003e sets out a hopeful yet honest path for navigating both inter-animal and intra-cultural conflicts - one that neither abandons animals nor dismisses the humans with whom we form our deepest connections.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaren S.
