Criticism of animal rightsedit
Strand is a critic of animal rights and has argued that the humane movement has been highjacked by animal rights extremists, "whose priority is neither the humane care of animals nor the prevention of cruelty to animals, but instead, the promotion of a revolutionary value system which redefined man’s relationship with animals. Animal rightists want to end man’s use of animals altogether."[23]
In 1993, Strand co-authored Animal Rights and Wrongs: The Hijacking of the Humane Movement, which argues that the animal rights movement is an anti-democratic new age cult that seeks to eliminate man's total use of animal's including pets and private property.[24] A criticism of the book is that Strand ignored the diversity of opinion amongst animal rights activists and failed to distinguish the animal rights movement from the environmental movement.[24]Adrian R. Morrison a noted proponent of animal experimentation defended the book.[25]
