Ingrid Newkirk Knihy

Nejnovější studie ukazují, že zvířata mají ohromující inteligenci, jsou nesmírně empatická, překvapují důmyslnými komunikačními sítěmi a nesčetnými dalšími schopnostmi. Zakladatelka organizace PETA Ingrid Newkirková se spojila s autorem bestsellerů Genem Stonem a nabízejí knihu plnou strhujících příběhů a nových zjištění. Jsou ryby sebevědomé? A netopýři skutečně slepí? Víte, že když se zamiluje husa, zůstane s partnerem celý život? A že gepardi cvrlikají? Proč jsou psi přátelští? Ve druhé části knihy se zároveň bez zbytečného moralizování dozvíte, co můžete udělat ve svém každodenním životě, abyste pomohli chránit svět zvířat. Předmluvu ke knize napsala Mayim Bialik, neurobioložka, veganka a herečka ze seriálu The Big Bang Theory.

Told as a thriller, Free the Animals is a classic work of radical popular storytelling. A classic in the mold of Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang. First published by Noble Press in 1992, then reprinted and revised by Lantern in 2005 and 2012, this thirtieth anniversary edition is revised, expanded, newly typeset, updated, and has a new foreword. It's the story of Valerie, a twenty-three-year-old police officer in Montgomery County, Maryland, whose world is turned upside down when she learns about the abuses of animals in laboratories. The book describes how this law-abiding woman comes to challenge the system by taking direct action and examines why ordinary people are moved to do extraordinary things on behalf of animals. Full of fascinating characters, vivid descriptions, thrilling incidents, and rich with details on what it means to live life on the run from the law (and agents provocateurs), Free the Animals is not only a classic for our times but a compellingly relevant examination of our cruelty to other animals.
