Stung Into Action

This book is the most galvanizing force for action I've ever read in terms of casting a harsh glare on the animal theft crime rings "blessed" by the U.S. government and making one begin to fight back. That we cannot live in peace in our own neighborhoods without the insidious threat of having our family members stolen from their own back yards is bad enough -- that this hideous offence has been repeatedly brought to the attention of the powers that control it, only to be met with apathy and denial, is even worse. I encourage everyone who ever loved an animal, large or small, or who currently lives with a beloved companion animal, to read this book, then to follow the prevention guide found at the end. It may not help you to sleep at night after yet another realization that humankind is the most dangerous animal around, but it will provide a practical approach to protecting your companion(s) and to helping end this most horrible of Killing Fields.

Corrupt U. S. Government NOT PROTECTING ANIMALS!

"Stolen for Profit" is beyond a five star book. This is the most enlightening book I have ever read. I wish everyone in America could read this book. Do you know that the U. S. Department of Agriculture lisenses "dealers" to sell to medical research? Do you know that these "dealers" are stealing your pets on a regular basis? They look at animals as MONEY and nothing else. We have to fight back. The best way to begin is by reading this book. WE CAN STOP ANIMAL ABUSE IN THIS COUNTRY! Let politicians know that you will vote for NO CANDIDATE THAT DOES NOT ADDRESS ANIMAL RIGHTS!

Every caring pet owner should read this book.

This is an excellent inside view of what goes on in our world where animals are used for research and advises us to watch our furry friends as they could be at risk. It should be read by everyone who owns a pet, dog or cat especially, as it will make you aware of how vulnerable your companion is. I never thought about people stealing dogs from their own back yard or creeps answering the "free to good home" pet ads in the newspapers then selling these animals to research for big bucks until I read this book. Pet theft is a profitable business to some. It is sad and shocking for this type of activity to occur, but it does. It has taught me some invaluable safety tips for protecting my "best friends." I will no longer leave them unattended for any length of time. We must protect and safeguard our furry friends like we do our children. After all, don't you consider your pet(s) a part of your family ?! If you care about your pet(s), this is one book you must read. Ramona Hand (rhand@net-connect.net)
