Product Description

Synopsis

After years working for the RSPCA, Terry Spamer became the first freelance undercover agent investigating animal maltreatment. He has endeavoured to seek out large-scale operations of cruelty to animals and to expose them - via infiltration, surveillance, and covert recording - to the animal welfare authorities and governments. His work involves personal danger, as those capable of such terrible atrocities to animals are often willing to harm anyone who tries to thwart them.In "Animal Eye", Spamer tells some of his most gripping stories, including covert investigations of: the illegal capture of wild monkeys for research, the killing of endangered species for taxidermy, Polish horses being cruelly turned into Italian salami under Mafia supervision and 'squishing' small animals by stamping on them in stilettos. Horrifying, yet compelling, this book is an essential eye-opener to the cruelty that lives on in a 'civilised' world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vivid account of animal abuse and covert operations 9 Nov 2007
By C. Smith-langridge
Format:Hardcover
We all know it goes on, but probably most of us turn a blind eye to it. In a highly readable book Terry takes us through many examples of animal abuse from around the world covering many different species - monkeys, rhinos, dogs, horses, leopards, birds....This is a moving account of his and others efforts to catch and prosecute the abusers. It goes into detail about the various covert operations, some of which succeed and some fail. It is easy to read and contains a few humorous recollections amongst the stories of abuse. I learnt a great deal about animals, abuse and animal welfare issues by reading this book and would recommend it to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unsavoury Truths 28 Jan 2008
By A. Neilson
Format:Hardcover
To say I enjoyed this book doesn't seem quite right, as it is an awful insight into the sick people who abuse our wildlife and pets. Saying that it makes awfully interesting reading and does have some lighter moments. It makes you aware of what Terry has gone through in his quest to save animals and it lifts your spirits to know there are people like him doing this. I think many people would be shocked to know the extent of the way our animal life is abused. Good reading, give it a go.
