5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book on the "hidden" animal rights fanatics., September 24, 2007

Mr. Oliver's book is one of the best on the background of the fanatical animal rights movement and those behind it. He reveals FACTS about the sources for their money and their true agenda and it's NOT about the animals. Money, Power and Control is the true goal. Read this to learn about this dangerous underground cult. Another good book to read is "The Hijacking of the Humane Movement" by Patti and Rod Strand. Learn now before it is too late for those of us who truly love animals and care about their WELFARE and not some imaginary "rights".

This review is from: Animal Rights: The Inhumane Crusade (Studies in Organization Trends, #13) (Paperback)

This is by far the best book, hands down, that I have ever read about animal rights, and this comes after reading ones such as "Man's Incredible War on Wildlife". This book shows the true face of those who hide behind the false image of cute puppies and kittens when they rather prefer to spend their donations on useless things like anti-milk billboard campaigns that make fun of people with prostate cancer, beer promotions, and the exploitation of women instead of actually doing things to really help the animals that they claim to be so fond of in a way that's positive for everyone. Whatever you do, don't fall for PeTA's tactics of trying to lure pet owners into sending them money, because they actually want every domesticated animal on earth to be annihilated, whether they are house pets or farm livestock, it doesn't matter to them. According to them, all domesticated breeds must be destroyed just because they don't belong in the wild! This book reveals many of the hidden details of their warped agenda that they deliberately attempt to hide from the public. Definitely give it a look if you are interested in seeing an alternative view on animal rights that is contrary to the popular belief of fashionable society, and is much more honest!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Ray of Truth in a Sea of Rhetoric, December 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Animal Rights: The Inhumane Crusade (Studies in Organization Trends, #13) (Paperback)

This book is packed with valuable facts and references whereby the truth-seeking individual can counterbalance the cultish propaganda which crowds bookshelves on the subject of animal rights and ethical treatment of animals. The honesty and brevity of the writing style is therefore refreshing and the author avoids rhetorical claims and emotional hyperbole, backing his statements at every step. It may not be what special interest groups want to hear, and their rantings, chantings and screeching wails remind one of the saying "The truth shall set you free! (But first it shall (or may), er, well..upset you!) This book only upsets those who advocate open discussion, on terms that such discussion agrees with their viewpoint. I would heartily recommend this book to journalists, researchers, animal interests advocates and owners, and especially to anyone who considers the value of their philanthropy seriously and who really wants to help animals. Sadly, many donated dollars do not go to animals, but to pay six figure salaries and perks for organization directors, and for outrageous and costly publicity and media stunts and promos. These and other interesting facts about the AR movement are exposed in Animal Rights, The Inhumane Crusade, by Daniel T. Oliver, a must for every animal and pet owners bookshelf.
