Book Description
As concerns about human treatment of the environment and animals have increased over the years, so have decentralized and extremist groups related to these causes. Environmental and Animal Rights Extremism, Terrorism, and National Security analyzes the international development of radical movements relating to environmental concerns and animal rights in the context of the threats they pose to national security. In addition to tracing the factors responsible for the rapid growth of these movements over the last 25 years, this text presents countermeasures that governments can deploy to neutralize the risk posed by these threats now and in the future. Bringing to bear new developments such as cyber activity and online activism, Environmental and Animal Rights Extremism, Terrorism, and National Security offers an examination of the direct and indirect violence, lone-wolf terrorism, and leaderless resistance that have characterized these radical wings from their inception.By not only identifying the tactics and organizational structures often employed by these groups, but also addressing future trends toward increased radicalization, Environmental and Animal Rights Extremism, Terrorism, and National Security is an important resource for identifying, anticipating, and mitigating threats posed by such movements. - Describes the psychological, social, and organizational mechanisms responsible for the functioning of the extremist wings of the interconnected environmental and animal rights movements in the context of national security - Identifies the main tactical and organizational ways these movements develop, moving from hierarchical organization to network structures, leaderless resistance, and lone-wolf activities - Covers radical environmental and animal rights groups, including Earth First!, Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, Animal Rights Militia, and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society - Looks to future trends in radicalization of these movements

Capers in the Churchyard
Author: Lee Hall
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780976915911
Category : Animal rights
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book'¿¿s unusual title recalls a six-year campaign to end the breeding of guinea pigs at an English farm; the cover depicts the churchyard where the body of the guinea pig farmer's mother-in-law was stolen during a pressure campaign. Lee Hall takes militancy as a starting point to assess a movement that is alternately coercive or co-opted (through organizations that tout humane farming advancements). Either way, the root problem is sidestepped: Militancy doesn'¿¿t address demand, and handling reform doesn'¿¿t slow the expansion of agribusiness that displaces nature (witness wild horses being rounded up and removed from land desired by ranchers). Rather than focusing on pain -- a key survival mechanism that industrialists would gladly breed out of animals -- this book presses the question of whether animals should be used at all. In the process, various advocacy styles are assessed for their impact on society, activists themselves, and the law. Psychologist Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson offers a foreword commending Hall for advancing animal-rights thinking, insisting that effective advocacy does not force change, but shifts the mental ground people stand on, inspires epiphany, and moves things closer to how they ought to be.The book's call -- despite, as reviewer Eric Prescott writes, the difficulty some may have in heeding it -- could focus a scattered and divided population of advocates to effectively drive a vital mission for the future of Earth'¿¿s conscious life.

Foreword by Ward Churchill; cover design by Sue Coe The first anthology of writings on the history, ethics, politics and tactics of the Animal Liberation Front, Terrorists or Freedom Fighters? features both academic and activist perspectives and offers powerful insights into this international organization and its position within the animal rights movement.

Animal Worlds
Author: Laura McMahon
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN: 147444640X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Focusing on a recent wave of international art cinema, Animal Worlds offers the first sustained analysis of the relations between cinematic time and animal life. Through an aesthetic of extended duration, films such as Bestiaire (2010), The Turin Horse (2011) and A Cow's Life (2012) attend to animal worlds of sentience and perception, while registering the governing of life through biopolitical regimes. Bringing together Gilles Deleuze's writings on cinema and on animals - while drawing on Jacques Derrida, Jean-Christophe Bailly, Nicole Shukin and others - the book argues that these films question the biopolitical reduction of animal life to forms of capital, opening up realms of virtuality, becoming and alternative political futures.

Historical Animal Geographies
Author: Sharon Wilcox
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351790315
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Arguing that historical analysis is an important, yet heretofore largely underexplored dimension of scholarship in animal geographies, this book seeks to define historical animal geography as the exploration of how spatially situated human–animal relations have changed through time. This volume centers on the changing relationships among people, animals, and the landscapes they inhabit, taking a spatio-temporal approach to animal studies. Foregrounding the assertion that geography matters as much as history in terms of how humans relate to animals, this collection offers unique insight into the lives of animals past, how interrelationships were co-constructed amongst and between animals and humans, and how nonhuman actors came to make their own worlds. This collection of chapters explores the rich value of work at the contact points between three sub-disciplines, demonstrating how geographical analyses enrich work in historical animal studies, that historical work is important to animal geography, and that recognition of animals as actors can further enrich historical geographic research.
