Product Description
Synopsis
A passionate and humane book about how animals behave if they are treated with decency and respect. John Bryant introduces us to a selection of animals from the sanctuary: dogs, birds, cats, goats, horses, and so on, and shows us how the natural life of these animals differs from the life they experience in conventional farms or in lives where they have to work for a living. Under his pen, the animals become characters with their own personalities. However, the book also performs an much-needed propaganda purpose in telling lay-people about how animals live in communities and with humans, and points the way to a more humane future.

A very enjoyable read - sometimes sad, sometimes funny.,
By tesslondon@aol.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Animal Sanctuary (Paperback)
This is a very easy to read book and very enjoyable. It is about some the author's experiences in running an animal sanctuary down in Somerset for 7 years. Each chapter in the book deals with a different species of animal encountered and cared for at the sanctuary (e.g. pigs, goats, cows, horses etc) which means that you can, if you choose to, read the chapters in any order. The stories are not only about the animals being cared for, but also about some of the people that the author and the staff at the sanctuary encounter along the way. Some of the stories included in the book are very funny and some are very sad. It is clear that the author has strong views on the rights of animals but somehow he manages not to shove this down the readers' throats! A very enjoyable book and very well written.

This review is from: Animal Sanctuary (Paperback)
having always cared for animals and intending to start my own animal sanctuary,I decided to read a little more into what it entails.
This book was the best one that i had read and i felt that I understood everything that was written [and agreed with it all] it has made me examine area's of my own plans [location,location,location.] I still intend to start my own sanctuary but at least i am aware of a few more problems that i may face I salute John Bryant on all his work and dedication and hope that some day I am half the person he is,in my commitment to animals [I am in my forties and not an idealistic teenager] buy this book I intend to buy his other book 'fettered kindom' and hope it is as good
