As time went by, the subject matter of Amory's published work increasingly focused on animal rights. From 1963 to 1976, Amory was a television critic for "TV Guide" magazine, where he drew the ire of hunters for his biting criticisms of sports hunting programs. His book "Man Kind? Our Incredible War on Wildlife" (1974) detailed inhumane hunting practices, sparking an editorial in "The New York Times" and a CBS documentary on hunting, "The Guns of Autumn". Amory also presented a daily radio essay called "Curmudgeon at Large". Later he wrote a syndicated column called "Animail", and served as a senior contributing editor of "Parade" magazine from 1980 to 1998.
