Most animal rights activists look down upon the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the destruction of property that some of their rescue missions entail. Animal rights activists are one of the most peaceful group of people in the world, so why are some of them smashing and burning things? The book Free the Animals, by Ingrid Newkirk (co-founder of PETA), not only explains exactly how people can do this, but it also shows the American Animal Liberation Front through the eyes of the people who started it.
Told like a fictional story, this book takes you through the life of the womyn who started it all. Starting out as a cop and ending her career to devote her life to animals, this womyn changed the animal rights movement for America. Each chapter is another section of her life, and another raid she went on.
Newkirk gives a personal touch to the movement through this womyn, and also through the animals. A story and pictures of each animal she rescues are in the book. You honestly get to live the life of an ALF activist. Depicting everything from stake-outs to the rescues themselves, this book has everything you need to form an accurate opinion about the Animal Liberation Front.
Reading this book will definitely enlighten you and change your mind about the animal rights activists who participate in such activities. I seriously recommend this book to anyone who is curious about the ALF and hates to read factual information. It will change your life.
