How to Do Animal Rights - and Win the War on Animals About What's This Book About? You do not have to scream emotional abuse at people in the street or commit arson to work for animal rights. How to Do Animal Rights shows you how to work for animal rights legally. Written concisely in plain English this book briefs you about doing animal rights as an activity - it is not about arguing for or against animal rights - and informs you about animal rights ethics so that you can defend your actions rationally. This book should appeal to novices and would-be activists, from school teenager to granny, anarchist to city banker, as well as to experienced animal rights campaigners. Topics covered include the major problems that humanity is causing animal life, the moral philosophy underlying animal rights, the major methods of campaigning, practical activities for promoting animal rights, how to deal with possible clashes with the police, biographical sketches of well-known animal rights activists from all walks of life, and statistics on human usage of animals. Read this book to: Recognise how humanity is devastating animals globally (Chapter 1). Know what animal rights means and how it differs from other views (Chapter 2). Understand activist methods that will further your activism (Chapter 3). Discover practical animal rights activities to do (Chapter 4). Be aware of potential conflict with the law and how to handle it (Chapter 5). Find inspiration from a selection of historical and modern animal rights activists (Chapter 6). Gasp at the numbers of animals humans kill (Chapter 7) You can work for animal rights low-key or high-key, by yourself or with like-minded people. But above all - do it! The Author I started writing this book in 2007 because there were no published books on how to do animal rights and one badly needed writing (but since then see Striking at the Roots, Home page links). I'm an animal rights activist, conservationist and biologist, with a bachelor degree in biology and psychology and a doctorate in animal behavioural ecology. Among other things I've worked in the seemingly incompatible fields of farming and wolf conservation, having for some years been a farm hand and then organiser of the Wolf Trust to educate people about wolves and promote a wolf reintroduction back to Britain. Most people would not think it, but farming and reintroducing wolves are practical undertakings with a strong accent on animal rights; how should we, for instance, treat predators and their erstwhile prey now humanity's food animals?
