I review "STRAW DOGS: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals" by philosopher John Gray, first published in 2003. Straw Dogs is a series of philosophical essays, typically of pessimistic nature, depicting humans in the past, present, and probable future and how and where we may end up as a species ... even despite our futile efforts to resurrect the integrity of nature and man himself.
