Save the Animals

 Author's Note: I picked this book because it caught  my attention and sucked me in and I wanted to share that with you.

Man V.S Beast, by Robert Muchamore is about a 13 year old boy named James Adams who has been with a secret agency by the name of Cherub for almost 4 years. His mother died 4 years ago and a father is who unknown. His sister Lauren Adams is also a member of Cherub. Now on his sixth mission James along with his sister Lauren and best mate Kyle work together as they must stop an extreme animal rights group from killing Innocent people and millions of lab workers. Robert Muchamore did a great job at using realistic problems like animal cruelty and animal rights groups to tell his story.

Robert Muchamore makes Man V.S Beast a much better book by using real world issues like extreme animal rights groups. This book also brings out the facts. After researching I found the U.S abuse more than 241,000 rabbits alone in laboratories every year. Experimenters at the University of Utah cut deep incisions into rabbits' backs and surgically inserted implants into their spines. The surgically mutilated rabbits were observed for 24 weeks and then killed. Some animal rights groups break into facilities like the University of Utah and free animals. They also do this in places like slaughter houses or bigger named organizations.

In the book the animal cruelty is quite scary because they explain in great detail what they do to process animals.  When scientist breed dogs for testing they isolate them in tiny cages and only hose them out to clean them. Since puppies are playful when they have nothing or no one to play with they play with there poop and roll in their own urine. Which can make them ill before testing even starts. The test are usually testing safety of cleaning products in digestive systems. That’s why animal rights groups are here to stop it.

Animal rights groups are doing what they can to stop the testing. In places like the U.K., Belgium, and Netherlands testing has been shut down. Some animal rights groups will stop at nothing to shut down animal testing. The extreme animal rights group in the book is the A.F.A (Animal Freedom Army). They used napalm to blow up an entire parking lot of researchers cars. Even though most animal right groups wont go that far they will break in to facilities and destroy equipment and research.

I’m siding with the animal rights groups because I think killing animals for research is wrong. The book is overall great. It truly uses a lot of realism and is truly a good laugh. You should think about what you eat and how they make animals into that because i can’t look at burgers the same way. It’s truly a great book and show great realism with the animal testing and rights groups.
