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.

Jared Diamond
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.
