Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains

byBethany Brookshire

Bethany Brookshire uses Pests to explore how humans create animal villains, moving beyond a simple overview to reveal the forces working underneath. Drawing on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, the narrative gives Pests a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, how humans create animal villains becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within nature and pets. Pests ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
