Fwd: Keith Mann and his book

[Guest guest]

Please clarify how reading a book is supporting extremism?

 

This book will give everyone an insight into why Keith did what he did to

save lives. It is NOT supporting " terrorism " or violence towards any living

being. He has never hurt a soul and is one of the kindest, gentlest men I

have ever had the honour of meeting. He broke the law to save our brothers

and sisters in fur and feathers and spent MANY years in prison as a result.

 

Perhaps you should read the book before condemning people interested in

reading what Mr Mann has to say. I have read many books by people I disagree

with to understand their reasoning and clarify my thoughts.

 

As someone who actually knows Mr Mann, perhaps I should be considered a

better judge of his character than someone who has an obvious dislike for

him. I don't have a bad word to say about him and neither does anyone I know

who has met him - he is pure gold, a down to earth lad with a big smile and

a friendly word for everyone. Putting him in the same genre as actual

terrorists - people who KILL indiscriminately to further their cause

- is not only grossly misinformed but shameful!

Keith Mann and his book

AAPN <aapn >

 

 

 

I see that our sometimes valued correspondent, Azam Siddiqui

is at it again, showing support for extremism.

I can't adequately express my disappointment in AAPN in

permitting their hitherto most excellent venue for the good

of animals in Asia to be used to show implicit support for

extremists such as Keith Mann.

Having, as a soldier, spent much of my life dealing with

terrorism, I can find absolutely no excuses, whatever the

temptations, for using any forms of violence to bolster a

good cause.

May I suggest that the many valued members of this

organisation who appreciate the benefits that have arisen

for animals since its inception (without encouraging

extremism) should call for closer monitoring?

We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our

distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were

able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
