This review is from: The Death of a Culture: Understanding the War: Animal Rights vs. Animal Welfare (Paperback)

The Death of a Culture: Understanding the War between Animal Rights and Animal Welfare is a must read book. This is the first book that actually delves into the motivation behind the relentless movement to force people to rescind all contact with and use of animals. Perhaps it is the special background of the author, and his personal interests in animals that has allowed him to get the clarity needed for this perception. Whatever it is, the motivation for the animal rights activists,their degree of violence, their willingness to break laws and even subvert the electoral processes become quite clear to the reader with a background in their history.
The author's three areas of expertise;1. police work, 2. professional religous involvement, and, 3. Years of expertise in animal husbandry through breeding German Shepherd dogs, come together to reveal background motivations for this movement today. The information presented bares the result of large numbers of several generations with no clear moral education and lack of ethical training. This guideless segment of society then seeks a reason for their existence, turning to causes like animal rights and extreme environmentalism as a salvation of sorts. Both the animal rights movement organizations and environmental activist organizations have been very high on the FBI domestic terrorist list for many years.
What else but personal salvation could motivate the type of crimes committed by these people?
And now, through skillful leadership, many humane organizations have been receiving millions of tax-free dollars that are being used to influence legislation and to elect legislators to pass laws favoring these organizational goals.Little or none of these millions goes to animals, but is funnelled into politics.
This book should be read with the ability to get the thought, because, under the list of the author's expertise, grammer and English are not listed. I suspect that his patience is waning, too, as it is apparent that no proofreader was employed. Let us hope that subsequent editions of this extremely important book are grammatically corrected for those readers who are victims of a failing educational system. Or, maybe, this book was written in their mode of reading for their better understanding.
All should read and understand it. This is a very important work. Thanks to the author for this work.

"THE DEATH OF A CULTURE:UNDERSTANDING THE WAR: ANIMAL RIGHTS VS ANIMAL WELFARE," BY DR. DAVID FRITSCHE
BOOK REVIEW, By E. M. Gilbert Jr.
The author has been breeding, working with and exhibiting German Shepherd Dogs for 55 years. David's background is quite interesting and fits well for the War we are in: Police Officer; Pastor of Life Center Church, Reno, NV; College Professor teaching Criminal Justice and Theology; and serving both the German Shepherd Dog Club of Reno and the GSD Club of America. He, like you and I, is involved in the day to day war with the Animal Radicals.
This book clearly defines the Culture War in which we are involved.
The author outlines the Cultures as follows: Hunter- Gatherer; Agricultural; Industrial; Information; Animal Rights Culture
The author then outlines each cultures effect on: land; religion; law; power; family; rights; and wealth. With an understanding of these cultural effects all of us can better understand the problems associated with communicating with the public, legislators and the Animal Radicals. "The rules of one culture can change so drastically in the next that the hero becomes the criminal and the owner becomes the abuser. It is not that the activity of the individual changes but the context that judges the activity." The dog breeders are law abiding citizens but via the AR legislation become common criminals.
Further on the author states: "These organization who propose animal rights are not proposing that we need to be better at our ownership and care, but that the animals' legal position in the world should be elevated to the same level and status as humans, so that they can have standing in any suit in a court of law." Then the AR lawyers can become rich defending the animals - with no benefit to the animals.
Here is how the author defines the issue: "The issue is the presence of the legislative sweep itself. It is a created phenomenon. It is created by organizations committed to a cultural philosophy which is not in the interest of animal ownership and enjoyment. It is created specifically to eliminate our rights and relationship to our domestic animals. It is a war, calculated and organized by our enemies and we have not recognized that as yet. Neither have our local legislators."
Boy does that nail the problem down. Without understanding those cultural changes you can not effectively fight the battle. As I have stated in the past - we are playing a ball game - our team is in the Stadium in Anaheim and their team is in the Meadowlands. That's a guaranteed looser.
The many Chapters cover from: "Culture Shift: Why Things Go Wrong to defining the enemy - H$U$ and PETA and others, and sums up with a Manifesto and a Battle Plan.
As one reviewer stated: "This book should be required reading for every legislator before voting on animal rights legislation.
Ø Every animal lover MUST read it!
Ø Every legislator should have it!
Ø Everyone who donates to animal causes should read it!
Get a copy into the hands of your local, state and national legislators now! There is a war going on, and most people do not even know it is happening."
This writer considers "The Death of a Culture" as a companion volume to Rod & Patti Strand's classic "The Hijacking of the Humane Movement." Own, read and act on both of these books for the sake of all animals.

This review is from: The Death of a Culture: Understanding the War: Animal Rights vs. Animal Welfare (Paperback)

This is the best book to describe how and why this anti american animal rights cult movement has declared war on the sane caring loving people in this country who want to love their animals in peace. Every politician better read this book now if they ever wish to hold office in the future. We are here and we are ready to take on this new dictator Wayne Pacelle of the HSUS and PeTA who have corrupted this country and threaten its very existence. Think this is hyperbole then read this book and you will understand why HSUS and PeTA and ADL are dangerous to the survival of the democratic process let alone the human race and all domestic animals. READ this book and then act against any law passed by politicians who listens to animal rights cults as these people intend to kill of all domestic animals. Read the philosopher Peter Singer who has the ear of the New York times as he asks our young people to all neuter themselves and then party down until the last human being dies out. This is a sick human being and should be stopped. If you read the comments many from from the young who have followed this man's teachings. They are depressed and believe all humans are evil. This philosophy is dangerous as was Jim Jone's poisonous cool aid. Our country and your way of life is in a war you don't even know about and the risk is your grandchildren, your food supply and your love of animals.
