Nathan Winograd's new book is now in the top 500 books on Barnes & Noble
Online (10/20/2007)
"Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No Kill Revolution in
America" is a must read if your city is threatened with any or all of the
national legislative "Animal Rights" agenda. Winograd tells it like it is
and lets the chip's fall where they may.

He is a defender of "pit bulls" and states: "There is no breed of dog in
America more abused, maligned, and misrepresented than the American Pit Bull
Terrier. There is no breed of dog more in need of the humane movement's
compassion, in need of a call to arms on its behalf, and in need of what
should be the full force of a shelter's sanctuary."

Winograd backs up everything that Responsible Pet Owners Alliance has been
saying to San Antonio city officials for years and our local "Animal Rights"
Brigade is not happy. They continue to lie about local statistics and lobby
to hang on to the status quo of oppressive legislation when it's a proven
failure everywhere it passed 15 years ago.
Enjoy!

Redemption for Los Angeles?

The following were my comments at the Los Angeles book signing for my book,
Redemption, which occurred at Book Soup on September 28, 2007:

The book opens and closes with a series of questions-questions for you, the
reader.
The opening question is "how did this happen?"

How is that a nation of people who spend $40 billion dollars on their animal
companions and donate billions more to animal related charities, have ended
up with an animal shelter system that is the leading cause of death for
healthy dogs and cats in the United States?

That is the question I seek to answer in the first half of the book, going
through the history of companion animal protection, and all the claims and
justifications and excuse-making that has defined our role as stewards for
homeless animals for a century. And the end result is that shelters have
failed animals almost completely. And worse, these shelters are doing what
they are doing in our name: they are doing it with our taxes, with our
donations, as agencies representing us, and they are even blaming us (and
our neighbors) for doing it by claiming they have no choice because of the
public's irresponsibility. And although we are picking up the tab, we are
not paying the ultimate price. That is being paid by the animals who are
unfortunate enough to enter U.S. shelters and lose their lives as a result.

In the middle, the book asks the question: "can we do anything about it?"

And the answer is yes.
