A "Must Have" for Every Activist and Animal Lover,
By Darlene Kaiser (Lynnwood, WA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living in Harmony With Animals: Practical Tips from America's #1 Animal Rights Columnist (Paperback)
I've been an animal rights activist more than ten years and a former intern for a wildlife rehabilitation center. Yet, I learned more from this little book than I ever thought possible. It's filled with useful data that can be helpful in writing letters to newspapers and in debating for animal protection/rights. Bennett writes in a Gandhi-like style -- never angry or agressive. But the facts she gives us are powerful. Example: Rodeos -- "C. G. Haber, a veterinarian who worked 30 years as a meat inspector in slaughterhouses, saw scores of animals discarded from rodeos and sent to slaughter. Toughened as he was to animal suffering, the condition of the rodeos' animals sickened him. He described them as 'so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached to the flesh were the head, neck, legs, and belly.' 'I've seen animals, he said, 'with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and at times puncturing the lungs. I've seen as much as two to three gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin.'" (This should convince even the most calloused rodeo fan that rodeos ARE inhumane). Bennett has facts and data EVERYONE can use. There's info on where to stay when travelling with your pets, charities that aren't charitable to animals, how students can refuse to dissect animals in school, what to do about unwelcome wildlife "guests" in your home, and so much more. I could go on and on. I can't say enough good about this book. This one is terrific!

A "Must-Have" for Every Type of Animal Lover!,
This review is from: Living in Harmony With Animals: Practical Tips from America's #1 Animal Rights Columnist (Paperback)
There are so many things to love about this fact-filled animal companion's guide! As a mother, teacher and lifetime animal lover, I feel Bennett's "Living in Harmony With Animals" is a goldmine of indispensible information relating to the comfort and well-being of all creatures great and small. Bennett covers the gamut, from making your yard animal-friendly to keeping animal rights issues alive in the media.It's also entertaining to read about my favorite celebrities and how actively involved they are in protecting our four-legged friends! Many of these big names share heartwarming, personal experiences with us, as well as adorable photos from their private albums. This book is an absolute "must-have" for anyone having a special place in their heart for animals!

My Animal Rights Little Bible,
This review is from: Living in Harmony With Animals: Practical Tips from America's #1 Animal Rights Columnist (Paperback)
I find Carla Bennett's "Living in Harmony with Animals" very inspirational and helpful. It speaks from the heart and will reach many hearts too as it did mine! It's the perfect book to give a friend who loves animals but often doesn't know where to turn for answers on many issues concerning them. It's right there in that book! I also like the various pictures of Animal Rights' activists, the vegetarian recipes and also the international resources available to help animals,in the last pages of the book. Bennett's book becomes my secret weapon to continue my Animal Rights activism. Claudine Erlandson Seattle, WA
