Animals & society; Pressure groups & lobbying

Told as a thriller,Free the Animalsis a classic work of radical popular storytelling. A classic in the mold of Edward Abbey'sThe 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, by Academy Awardwinning actor Joaquin Phoenix, and an afterword, by Dr. Emily Trunnell, who describes whether and how the experiments you read about in this book have changed (or have not) over the last three decades.

Free the Animalsis 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, and thrilling incidents, and rich with details on what it means to live life on the run from the law (and agents provocateurs),Free the Animalsis not only a classic for our times but a compellingly relevant examination of our cruelty to other animals.
