Conflict With Human Apathy

Book Cover & Preview Text
A commonality many activists share is that as long as there are inhumanities and indifferences toward our animal friends, our war in their defense will never cease…no matter the consequences. Those words are paraphrases from the champions that truly put non-human animals’ welfare before themselves. In reality, many aggressive acts such as plotting midnight rescues from a research facility or setting fire to a fur farm result in those heroes that no longer walk this planet a free individual. He or she, no longer has the tools to continue the cause. In the waging war against the senseless too little effort is being exerted. It is like fighting a war with a slingshot instead of bazooka in your enormous war with little change resulting in counter-effectiveness; the voiceless suffers equally. We must find a positive, balanced solution that will mutually benefit human and non-human welfare equally while preserving both parties integrity. I present my own experiences and infuse it with a satirical style all my own to give you as unbiased a picture as possible in my efforts to save our animals; domestic, farm and wild alike. After an accurate picture has been painted of the battleground we are all in, I will give you some resources of ammunition to join us in this epic fight-then perhaps we can finally do more than just bark in the wind…

About the Book
Few people understand the difficulties animal rights activists undergo. Some regard them as extremists or eccentric; rebels or ridiculous. Either way, the activists battle through all the human apathy and ignorance to reveal their good intentions; to be a voice to the voiceless and protect the defenseless. This book gives the public a true rendition of how some of us endure many obstacles while attempting to change the public outlook on animal and human coexistence. Until the human populous stops referring to animals as "property" very little will be accomplished in the fight to preserve animal dignity, welfare and protection. Yet the battle will never cease until mankind realizes the threat on overall humanity, should we give up on our animal friends; domestic, farm and wild. There are both positives and negatives within the various animal rights groups while each can reveal to us effective and unique end results toward the goal of animal liberation. Great strides will be made yet at a cost that many activists will inevitably bear . . . all in the name of liberation . . .
About the Author
Born February 1961 from Italian parents, I was adopted and came to the U.S. in 1964. Never fitting into that mold predetermined by my family, I done everything in my power to go “against the grain” and became a rebel as a young adult. I grew up to be oversensitive to any forms of abuse. After retirement from the military, I received a B.S. degree (Troy University) in Social Sciences; majoring in Sociology. My interests in the science of human behavior drifted into the desire to understand our animal friends. My “renegade” mentality had great influence on my direction toward becoming an activist later on. I started with private rescue of canines after retirement. I wrote local literature and graduated toward the need to broadcast and educate nationally; founded a site related to liberation and activism in the defense of all animals- domestic, farm and wild. I also fight to abolish words such as “property, pets and ownership” when relating to animals. I advocate for anti-tethering and spaying/neutering of domestic animals and regarded as a canine consultant. My entire life is modified around my interactions with our animal companions. My family consists of one 2-legged daughter and five 4-legged kids. I am against treating animals like “circus” clowns or puppets so all of mine are only “housetrained” and nothing else…just get to be… dogs! I plan to leave my current line of work one day to fulfill my destiny; full time work in animal welfare. I live each day to find better ways to inform our public of the inhumanities and work to circumvent some of the problems by my words, action and deed.
