Dominion is the best book I have read on this topic.  By weaving a narrative of cultural practices that includes scientific and philosophical content, Matthew Scully does an stellar job in presenting a holistic view of the place of animals in this anthropocentric world. This book will speak to you intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. I have linked below the four page introduction of the book with permission from the author.

All God's Animals is an academic treatise on the subject, and requires the reader to have some background in Christian philosophy and theology. It is a good resource for those looking for a philosophically robust discussion.

For Love of Animals provides a good overview of concern for animals to a Catholic reader.  It provides a light discussion of veganism in the Catholic Tradition while providing useful jumping off points for further reading.

Animal Rights is a good introduction to the topic from a secular ethics perspective.

Eating animals focuses on animals in the food industry. The author researches the things animals have to go through to provide us with meat. Written in a narrative form, it makes a compelling case for raising awareness that could change minds and hearts, and hopefully, food consumption habits.
