Not bad but not great.,
By TH (Moyock, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illusions of Animal Rights (Paperback)
Were the other reviews on this book reviews or a form of hate mail to the author. Wow! When I'm reading a book I dislike I simply put it down. I think he's on to the animal rights movement in many ways. As authors go....what do you expect from a book written by a farmer / outdoorsman, a Grisham novel? Sure the book is based on opinions. Reads as if he's based them on experience. It more or less boils down to opinions and what one believes in. The trick is knowing how and when to turn it off. Not buy throwing blood on a Ronald McDonald in front of children on the street corner or walking around nude with demands. No I apologize, that's not an opinion, that's called media attention. Are they trying to put fear in people? I think it does the exact opposite. I don't care what they say, those animal rights groups are a strange bunch. I suggest one read your local newspaper on animal rights when they can. It's like watching an episode of "COPS" or better yet Springer. You feel a whole lot better about yourself and position in life afterward.

Humourous but sad,
By A Customer
This review is from: Illusions of Animal Rights (Paperback)
The author's main qualification for writing this book was that he received a nasty death threat for his work as a trapper.This is understandably a very upsetting experience, which could explain why he got a bit carried away writing this book.Some prize quotes: "A hunter does not hunt animals because he hates them, any more than a doctor chooses his profession because he hates humans." (p. 12) "It is an ideology taken from the political and economic principles of Leninism, and followed to the letter by the animal rights leaders." (p. 38) "This indoctrination of our youth to the animal rights ideology can only be compared to the brainwashing of China's youth after the Communist Revolution." (p. 69) "The failure to recognize the religious aspect of animal rights lies in the fact that most people falsely recognized vegetarianism as THE RESULT [his caps] of animal rights when in reality it is the cause." (p. 95) "Vegetarianism is, and has been throughout history, the most self-serving, self-centered philosophy that I can imagine." (pp. 95-6) The 21 chapters include: "Vegetarianism--The Final Solution," "The 'Sickness' of Vegetarianism," and "Man--The Endangered Species." The erroneous claims, scantily referenced, are amusing, but for a reliable source of information about animal rights, look elsewhere.

Well-done, interesting answer to the extremest cause. The truth concerning animal rights is beautifully expressed in this very fine book.
