Great book! A must have for any serious researcher of animal rights!
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!

Fabulous book on the "hidden" animal rights fanatics.
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".

Flawed, manpulative reasoning.
This book is highly flawed and manipulative. Instead of attacking the reasoning behind animal rights as a philosophy, Oliver chooses to attack extreme members of animal rights groups in an attempt to somehow discredit the movement. Pointing out the most extreme members of any movement as a method of attack is a trick, and not a valid basis for any moral decision.For instance, if Hitler was a believer in animal rights, he also claimed to love children. Should that mean we should deny rights and protection to children, because an evil man (or group) promoted it as a positive idea? It's a ridiculous argument. Positive, loving philosophies do not lose their strength because extreme individuals happen to adopt them and then proceed to ignore the values of compassion and love which they are based.

If the Third Reich had sympathies towards animal rights, then so did Gandhi, Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer, Einstein, Alice Walker, Jimmy Stewart, Mark Twain, Pythagoras, Leo Tolstoy, Thoreau, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, C.S. Lewis, Abraham Lincoln, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Saint Francis of Assisi as well as many others.

Animal rights is not anti-human. To love one thing is not to cancel out love for another. When we understand this perhaps we will aquire some peace in the world. To extend our love and compassion to all creatures (and that includes humans of course) can only stregthen in us the best of human nature. It is no benefit for us to indulge our every desire at the expense of another creature's suffering. Hurting animals may make our lives easier, fulfill our basest desires, and even extend our lives, but in the end it robs of us of what is most important in being human - love, compassion, respect, and the privilege of using our strength to protect and love all the weak. This is honor.

It is man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man. -- Albert Schweitzer

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." --Albert Einstein

You do not settle whether an experiment is justified or not by merely showing that it is of some use. The distinction is not between useful and useless experiments, but between barbarous and civilized behavior. Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character. --George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. -- Gandhi

Releasing the Truth about Animal Rights Humaniacs
I found this to be an extremely informative book.This was not just based on the authors opinions.He offered facts to back up his information.Every person donating money to an animal rights group should read this and SEE where their money is really going.Bravo to Daniel Oliver for such an eye opener to the groups that the FBI now classifies as our home grown terrorist.

The truth about "animal rights"
At last, someone who is not afraid to tear the mask of hypocrisy. Vaccinated humans have no right to deny vaccines from others. Well-fed people have no right to deny food from others. Medical experimentation on animals is good. Adulation of animals as sacred cows is a religious perversion. If medical students will be forbidden to practice on animals, we'll either have bad physicians or practitioners that have studied their trade on humans. The first animal rights laws were enacted in the Third Reich by the Prussian minister. The rationale was that most animals have more rights than most people. The goody-goodies that have tired of fighting for human rights and have taken leave of their senses should remember that Einstein was not a vegetarian, Hitler was. "The Inhumane Crusade" is a valuable book for people who still value human life above the pseudo- and quasi-rights of rats, cockroaches, and the malaria plasmodium. ... Read more

Product Description
The framers of the 1985 amendments to the Federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) envisioned the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) as the linchpin--the central and cohesive element--of the laboratory animal care and use program at research, education, and testing organizations.Effective operation of this committee is essential if these organizations are to achieve full regulatory compliance, and, more importantly, retain the public's support for activities involving the use of animal subjects.In 1987, the Scientists Center for Animal Welfare, in cooperation with the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, published a compilation of presentations made at five regional workshops on effective operation of IACUCs.In the decade since this compilation was published, nearly all of the 18 consensus recommendations developed by the workshop participants and the Center's Board of Trustees have either been incorporated into the AWA regulations or have been voluntarily adopted by institutions using animals subjects.The Care and Feeding of an IACUC: The Organization and Management of an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee superbly illustrates the progress and advances the animal-using communities have made in implementing these and other improvements in their animal care and use programs.The highly qualified contributors provide twelve information-packed chapters and ten appendices that provide IACUC chairs and members with an indispensable reference. This book summarizes information critical to the effective and efficient management and operation of an IACUC, and, as such, should be made available to IACUC members and administrative officials in every institution using laboratory animals. ...

Has both invaluable and crackpot advice
This book has value for one reason that should be heeded: for lessening the painful LIVING lives of animals through factory farms, laboratories, private ownership.

On the other hand, this book makes it sound as though it is immoral to practically have anything to do with animals or pets, or worse, to eat animals. The book places vegetarianism on some lofty level: vegetarians think themselves morally superior. Does that mean that Indians, who hunted, killed, and worshipped animals, were immoral? How does she, the oh-so politically correct, explain how, genetically, humans are omnivores?Achor's pitiful explanation that our teeth are not equipped for tearing meat is laughable. It is scientifically unsound: the human stomach has something called hydrochloric acid, which is THERE for digesting meat. For a thorough look at the issues, myths and truths of vegetarianism, see www.westonaprice.org -
you will see that animal meats and fats are in fact a part of our genetic requirements. Achor should hasten and read Weston A Price's "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration," to discover that traditional, ancient cultures' main diets are all animals based.
Achor's statistics on the allegedly superior vegetarian health have no real foundation. She fails to mention things like leaky gut syndrome, vegans' sickly pallor, severe vitamin deficiencies, and poor health for those who cannot tolerate a diet without animal foods. Achor also does not have a clue that many health problems are caused by processed food, altered lipids and proteins, chemically processed soybeans (see Kaayla Daniel's THE WHOLE SOY STORY), trans fatty acids, and on and on.Her crackpot theories are so off base, so unhistorical, and so lacking in simple science (see Sally Fallon's book NOURISHING TRADITIONS), she comes off as nothing more than a vegetarian fanatic, as bad as a religious one. Achor IGNORES the fact that vegetable and fruit agriculture cause soil erosion, soil sterility, pollution - which guess what - harms wildlife. And that harvesting machines for grains, etc. often chop up animals on the fields.Vegetarians will go on about factory farms, but fail to disclose there are family farms and organic meats and dairy that offer humanely treated animals. That they have to be killed? OK - if a tiger, shark or bear kills a human, what reasoning do humans have to offer an animal? That we're thinking beings does not remove the fact of our needing animal foods in some form.
Animal activists are right to want to improve the lives of our fellow creatures: their LIVES, not their deaths. Animals have NO conception of oblivion, only protracted, drawn out pain and suffering. Most farmers end animals' lives within a matter of seconds.
I keep this book because of it's horrifying accounts of animals who suffer, and how to be an activist; but I resent it greatly when these same activists tell us what or what not to eat.

Filled with facts from the society's founding in 1866 to its landmark victories
The latest volume in the "International Organizations" series, The ASPCA introduces young readers to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the work this organization does to promote humane treatment of animals nationwide. Filled with facts from the society's founding in 1866 to its landmark victories to its promotion of the "3 R's" where animal testing in biomedical research is concerned (reduce the number of animals used as much as possible; replace research animals with tissue cultures, computer programs and other methods as much as possible; and refine testing techniques to ensure research animals are tested humanely) and much more. Full-color photographs illustrate this informative and enlightening summary of the ASPCA's work, rounded out with suggestions for young people to get involved, from writing letters to school and community newspapers to volunteering time at one's local animal shelter. Highly recommended.
