My thesis that animals have a right to life is based on  objectively conceived truths  that disallows every human egoistic activity harmful to animals.  Jack  B. Suconik              

These pages were created to inform the world of its doings to animals, and to present a book written in opposition to humanities endless war on the animal kingdom. A war waged on many fronts. My concern therefore, was to provide an irrefutable argument for the elimination of this ongoing aggression, for which self evident pristine truths were invoked. In the absence of knowledge of the avoidable suffering and death of animals attributable to human animals, the book would not have been written, which is another way of saying that I would not choose to act had I not known what had to be done. I believed moreover that the importance of asking "the right questions,"  a Bertrand Russell dictum was an essential precept if cogent truths were to evolve. The First of many queries was how do we get from here to there? "Here" being humanities deep rooted slaughter house ethos, and "there" a benign respect, consideration, and regard for all animals ethos that had repudiated the former.       

"Liberation" whether of mice or men is, as with all goals, an end for which there must be means. Motivation born of justice defiled, manifest in Partisan¹ action has achieved much to alleviate the revolting predicament of animals and will continue to be a mitigating factor, but action not predicated on a just liberating principle has not, and can not achieve "liberation," which by one definition is to "set free as from oppression or foreign control." If the ultimate aim of "liberation" so defined is to become a reality beyond a T shirt slogan, the means must be an amalgam of the concrete and abstract to realize the objective, namely: the lawfully enforced prohibition of the institutionalized and random harming, torture, and killing of animals. By 'abstract' I mean a foundation of salient truths, and principles upon which strategy and action can be predicated. Truths and principles which were not heretofore perceived by Mr. Homo Sapiens residing concurrently in his civil society, and the state of nature in which he persists in making life for its denizens nasty brutish and shorter.²

It is I believe, upon a footing of such relevant truths and principles that strategy can go beyond amelioration, (the importance of which is not questioned) and achieve the elusive goal of a new, and just man made moral and legal status of the animal kingdom. Having asked what I thought to be the "right questions" was the first step of an undertaking in need of the right answers, which I believe were disclosed in Animals: Why They Must Not Be Brutalized

       Suconik spoke for justice for animals in sixty countries.   

                                                                                                                   

          You came, you saw, and ? 

Let it be known: That unabated     
   opposition to the ongoing cruelty,
 and resultant death inflicted on animals
 by humans, weather it be in laboratories,
forests, or any other situation, will continue
so as to ensure ultimate liberation from  human tyranny.
