  If you picture an RSPCA officer out on official duty in his little van and uniform, think again. Here is the secret, unknown world of the secret operations undertaken by one man, whose job it is to go up against the big time crooks and often violent dealers in criminal fraternity who abuse animals to line their back pockets, or worse, just for kicks. Tony Saunders is more likely to be found posing as a dodgy dealer in rare animals in the back streets of Cairo or covered in mud and debris after a night spent observing illegal badger digs in the British countryside than in an office. He has trained with, amongst others, the SAS, and has come to see the nastier side of human nature, counterpointed by his very real, but unsentimental love of animals. This book is a non-fiction thriller, following Tony as he creates his own role within the RSPCA and becomes increasingly embroiled in the criminal underworld that preys on animals, both in the UK and abroad.

  Usually when animals are mistreated it's because their owners don't know any better. But there is another kind of cruelty to animals, one that brings delight and satisfaction to its depraved enthusiasts. The animals are used and abused in order to line the owner's pocket, or even worse, just for kicks. This book shows how Tony Saunders posed as a dodgy dealer in rare animals, or spent nights covered in mud and debris observing illegal badger digs. He has trained with, among others, the SAS and has seen the nastiest side of human nature. In this non-fiction thriller Tony creates his own role within the RSPCSA to become embroiled in the criminal underworld that preys on animals, both in the UK and abroad.
