1 out of 5 stars Shame to society   March 20, 2004
 2 out of 6 found this review helpful

A person who gets his jollies on harming a living breathing feeling creature would not think twice before harming you. Believe it. The authors of this book might as well be wrighting an editorial to a newspaper. Nothing here is based on fact or even trys to agrue their cause. They point fingers and make broad accusations throught the book. If you want an unbiased oppinion, think for yourself.


3 out of 5 stars Not bad but not great.   January 14, 2004

Were the other reviews on this book reviews or a form of hate mail to the author. Wow! When I'm reading a book I dislike I simply put it down. I think he's on to the animal rights movement in many ways. As authors go....what do you expect from a book written by a farmer / outdoorsman, a Grisham novel? Sure the book is based on opinions. Reads as if he's based them on experience. It more or less boils down to opinions and what one believes in. The trick is knowing how and when to turn it off. Not buy throwing blood on a Ronald McDonald in front of children on the street corner or walking around nude with demands. No I apologize, that's not an opinion, that's called media attention. Are they trying to put fear in people? I think it does the exact opposite. I don't care what they say, those animal rights groups are a strange bunch. I suggest one read your local newspaper on animal rights when they can. It's like watching an episode of "COPS" or better yet Springer. You feel a whole lot better about yourself and position in life afterward.


1 out of 5 stars a sheer embarassment   October 1, 2003
 2 out of 7 found this review helpful

This book is so rediculous and poorly written that I cannot believe it's in print. The author is hypocritical and immature. He seems to think that the use of capital letters will make up for his weak arguments, but they just make the book seem even more ludacris. Mr. Carman and Mr. Krahn seem to know very littel about animal physiology AND psychology. This book is a waste of time, money, and shelf space.


1 out of 5 stars An embarrassment   March 2, 2002
 4 out of 7 found this review helpful

...If I were an opponent of animal rights, I would find this book, marred by semi-literate rants and confused, self-contradictory "argument," nothing but an embarrassment. If the antis are sincere in their praise of this book, animal rights advocates have nothing to fear.


5 out of 5 stars good book   January 27, 2001
 3 out of 10 found this review helpful

Unfortunately there are so many anti's and bunny huggerrs on the internet so I am going to say for all the hunters, trappers, fishermen this was a good book. I totally agree with him on every issue in the book. He doesn't need a "degree" in "animal phscology" (which is a joke anyhow). the book is extreamly well writen.
