When you discover how cruelly many animals are treated, how thoroughly they are exploited and how greatly they suffer at our hands, you often feel paralyzed.

The depth of their misery seems so huge and what you can do seems so small. It’s an understandable reaction. Yet, if you’ve ever felt that way, then we have a few words for you! The Animal Rights Weekend Warrior is the perfect companion for those who want to do something but can’t commit themselves full-time to it. In fifty-two handy cards, you can become a year-round activist carrying out simple yet practical tasks that can make a difference.

A Primer on Animal Rights and Speaking Out for Animals offer practical and inspirational ways for you to help the animals. Primer uncovers the facts about six dimensions of animal cruelty: agriculture, hunting, experimentation and science, entertainment, wildlife, and companion animals, and allows you to choose your area of interest, while Speaking Out profiles the many people who have decided to rescue animals and have succeeded in making their lives better. Beauty without the Beasts offers perhaps the simplest way you can stop being cruel, by not wearing animals in order to make yourself look beautiful, while Cats and Dogs Are People, Too uncovers the horrendous pet food industry that feeds your companion animals the contaminated and sickening products of the slaughterhouse industry and shows you how you can keep your companion animals as healthy as you would like them to be.

Last, but not least, you'll always feel encouraged in your activities after you've read The Longest Struggle by Norm Phelps. Phelps charts the work of animal liberationists from the very early pre-Socratic philosophers to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He shows how the tenacious struggles of a few have now blossomed into a global movement that is stronger now than at any time in history.
