We Do Not Think Clearly

We Need To Reshape The Movement As One Of Grassroots Activists, And Not 'professional Activists' Who Populate The Seemingly Endless Number Of National Animal Rights Groups. For Many People, Activism Has Become Writing A Check To A National Group That Is Very Pleased To Have You Leave It To Them. Although It Is Important To Give Financial Support To Worthy Efforts Only, Giving Money Is Not Enough And Giving To The Wrong Groups Can Actually Do More Harm Than Good.

When It Comes To Animal Agriculture, There Is Conventional, Which Is Rally Hideous, And 'compassionate' And 'certified Humane' Or Whatever, Which 'may' Be 'slightly' Less Hideous. But It Is All Torture. It's All Wrong. These 'happy' Gimmicks Are Just Designed To Make The Public Feel Better About Exploiting Animals. Don't Buy The Propaganda Of 'happy' Exploitation. Go Vegan And Promote Veganism.

Every Sentient Being Values Her/his Life Even If No One Else Does. That Is What Is Meant By Saying That The Lives Of All Have Inherent Value.

The Most Important Form Of Incremental Change Is The Decision By The Individual To Become Vegan. Veganism, Or The Eschewing Of All Animal Products, Is More Than A Matter Of Diet Or Lifestyle; It Is A Political And Moral Statement In Which The Individual Accepts The Principle Of Abolition In Her Own Life. Veganism Is The One Truly Abolitionist Goal That We Can All Achieve - And We Can Achieve It Immediately, Starting With Our Next Meal.

People Say That Being A Vegan Creates A Social Problem In That Others May React Negatively. But Isnt That The Case If You Take A Principled Position On Any Issue, Whether Its Racism, Sexism, Heterosexism, Violence As A General Matter—or Speciesism? The Key Is To Educate Others About *why* You Take The Position.
