What animal rights groups claim in official press releases and mailings is far from what they actually practice. Of all the money they generate from people who think their support is for the welfare of animals, over 90% of the funds is spent sending out requests to raise more money. Almost nothing remains for the benefit of animals. And unsuspecting contributors who think their money is going toward helping abused or abandoned animals are shocked when - and if - they find out that one basic tenet of the animal rights agenda is its opposition to having pets. AnimalScam exposes this fraud and reveals the tactics animal rights activists and their organizations use to persuade the world that there is no difference between animals and people, and owning a pet is like owning a slave. AnimalScam not only dissects the animal rights agenda to show its inconsistencies in logic and reason, it also explains the consequences its radical ideas have had - and will have - on science, health, our economy, food, and other aspects of life we take for granted. Marquardt faultlessly details how the struggle for animal-human egalitarianism has turned into misanthropy and what kind of threat that poses to the fundamental political, ethical, and religious values that Americans cherish.

The Hijacking of the Humane Movement describes with crystal clarity how our best intentions get exploited by groups and individuals pretending to care about those things we value. This book provides a great service to those who truly care about animals. It makes distinctions between what most people value and consider appropriate treatment for animals and the agenda of animal rights extremists. The only thing more bizarre than its premise is its documentation. It seems undeniable that the humane movement really has been hijacked and that people who want to take care of animals should keep their money and feed the birds and squirrels in their own backyard, rather than send money to radicals who are more likely to break into research labs than look after abandoned pets.

Though we share 98 percent of our genes with the chimpanzee, our species evolved into something quite extraordinary. Jared Diamond explores the fascinating question of what in less than 2 percent of our genes has enabled us to found civilizations and religions, develop intricate languages, create art, learn science—and acquire the capacity to destroy all our achievements overnight. The Third Chimpanzee is a tour de force, an iconoclastic, entertaining, sometimes alarming look at the unique and marvelous creature that is the human animal.  Author Biography: Jared M. Diamond is a professor of physiology at UCLA Medical School and is a frequent contributor to Discover and Natural History magazines. He lives in Los Angeles, CA.
