Derek du Toit has worked in information technology, management consulting, information management, and the study of complex systems, and later taught critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving in the private sector.
For more than fifteen years he has written extensively on animal welfare, animal rights, breeding ethics, and breed-specific legislation. He is the author of several books and numerous articles on these subjects, including Just for Show, Why I Don't Eat Animals, Beware, Corporate Body Bullies!, and BSL: Why It's BS....
In I Am Not an Animal, he brings together decades of experience in critical thinking, systems analysis, and animal advocacy to examine one of humanity's most deeply rooted assumptions: the belief that we stand apart from the rest of the animal kingdom.
