I believe that we have to be inclusive in the animalrights movement and attack the system using all kinds of methods in all sorts of fields. Is a vegan's efforts at advocacy worth more than a vegetarian's or even a meat eater's if they happen to agree on the same issue? Economics, science, literature, film, politics, law, etc.
A couple of years ago I wrote about whether it's a good use of my time to be a purist about the term "animalrights" when most of the world doesn't have the same understanding of the term as I do. would call HSUS an animalrights group (after all, HSUS doesn't even do that).
Seems that the guy that wrote Sarah Palin's convention speech was none other then noted conservative and alleged animalrights supporter Matthew Scully. Palin is known as an avid hunter; Scully is best known for his vigorous defense of animalrights. The Palin-Scully pairing is anything but a guaranteed fit, though.
Quebec is not known for its animalwelfare concerns or laws. I think the issue stems from this being an Islamic practice and the fear of contaminated meat, not concern for the animals. From JTA, the Global News Service of the Jewish People.
Hal Herzog’s “ Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat ” (Harper 2011), though fascinating, is ultimately depressing for vegans and animalrights activists. Over at AnimalRights and AntiOppression , we’ve been discussing tactics and sharing our thoughts and experiences about what works and doesn’t work when it comes to advocacy.
In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animalrights/animalwelfare. I wonder instead if this is actually about the difference between advocacy and action, and about the way things ‘should’ be.
