The Art of Terror: Inside the Animal Rights Movement - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

There is unjust war being waged in America - at times violently - by a broad spectrum of extremists who share as their goal the elimination of the private ownership of animals. This war is being waged against scientists and universities, farms and zoos, fishermen and aquariums, and ultimately against anyone who would like to eat meat or simply own a pet. Fire bombings and death threats feature among these extremists' tactics. Mass seizures and euthanasias of animals ironically under the banner of "Animal Rights" continue to characterize the twisted zealotry of these extremists. But there are also the far more insidious efforts of skilled political lobbying at every level by national nonprofits - including some with household names. In this well researched book, Katharine Dokken details who the extremist actors and organizations are, the variety of tactics involved and calls attention to the depth and breath of their deception and duplicity. She reveals the fronts on which the battles are being waged and shows who its innocent casualties have been. In fourteen chapters the true nature of this war and the public's interest in it are made clear. The so-called "Animal Rights" activists' common tactic of deception is well responded to by this book and its sheer raising of awareness. Finally, Ms. Dokken addresses the very urgent question of how to fight back.
