Review:
In Ranch of Dreams, Cleveland Amory recounts his adventures traveling hither and yon for the Fund for Animals, saving creatures from human excesses. A zoo lover since being introduced to Anna Sewell's Black Beauty during childhood, Amory has made a great project of founding and maintaining an East Texas ranch that serves as a sanctuary for endangered and abused creatures, from burros evicted from the Grand Canyon to a great menagerie of kinkajous, foxes, pigs, aoudads, buffalo, and elephants, among others. He is a gracious and knowledgeable commentator on the lives of these animals, and a man of considerable tact, which must have helped when dealing with, say, the Defense Department in his efforts to save wild goats from a California island used for gunnery practice.
From AudioFile:
This devout animal lover has had some interesting adventures through the years as he rescued animals in distress. He has done everything from air-lifting wild burros out of the Grand Canyon to saving a chimpanzee from too many scientific experiments. Amory has met his share of eccentric characters through his animal acquisitions--people like the wacky zealot dedicated to saving wild buffalos from slaughter. Read in his deadpan Boston accent, these two tapes provide extremes--from enjoyable entertainment to head-shaking sadness as he graphically describes animal cruelty. For anybody concerned about animals, this is an inspiring title. A.G.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
