More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
A moving story about extreme cruelty and extreme courage and an inspirational and practical guide for anyone bent on challenging the system The shattering account of one woman's struggle against the forces supporting the abuse of animals, FREE THE ANIMALS is the best-selling and action-packed story of underground adventure, as well as an eloquent plea for the rights of nonhuman animals. FREE THE ANIMALS is the story of Valerie, a 23-year-old police officer in Montgomery County, Maryland, whose world was turned upside down when she learned about the abuses of animals in laboratories. The book describes how this law-abiding woman came to challenge the system by taking direct action and examines why ordinary people are moved to do extraordinary things on behalf of animals. This edition of FREE THE ANIMALS has been updated with a new foreword by Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of the rock group The Pretenders.

I loved this book!!!
3 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Anyone who loves animals MUST read this book and those who aren't fond of animals...this book will change your way of thinking. Each rescue the liberators performed made me hold my breath in anticipation. I cried one minute and the next minute I cheered for every liberation. I read this book in only two days...unable to put it down. I have always loved animals, but this book will make you realize that animals aren't just cute and fluffy, but they are individuals who equally deserve a chance at survival. They feel pain, sadness and happiness just as any human does. I would recommend this book to anyone who is eager to learn more about animal rights!

The best I've ever read!!
23 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
This book is the most exciting animal rights book ever! Most books are just facts and information, this is a true story of the most wonderful people ever created! They show what lengths one should go to for something they believe in! If you are interested in animals or just a good read, read this book! I could read it over and over and still be surprized and dazzled!

Stop Ignoring the Brutal Truth ...
15 Jun 2003
Format:Paperback
This type of literature makes most people uncomfortable. As you sit reading on your leather couch with a mouthful of dead animal flesh it is hard to not feel some remorse. What the people of this world do in the name of gourmet dining and fashion is revolting. What they do in the name of science is nothing less then sadistic and barbaric. Would the people that call ALF "criminals" say the same thing about the people who broke the law in the old south to help slaves escape? This book may not contain the most concise writing on the subject - (Try Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation") - but it does bring to light some important information about a group of modern day heroes and the cause they support.
To the people who posted reviews of this book that made fun of the cause itself or whined about saving lives I dare them to post their email address next time they want to show the world what total morons they really are.
