Unsavoury Truths January 28, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
A vivid account of animal abuse and covert operations November 9, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.
