I know on some level, I think that’s something almost all of us can get behind…no one, except the most callous and cold-hearted of the human race things its fine to torture animals, or deny that they are capable of pain and suffering. This makes perfect sense. The logic of this is ridiculous.

I believe that we have to be inclusive in the animal rights movement and attack the system using all kinds of methods in all sorts of fields. You can exhort people to go vegan, but if only vegans have legitimacy in the movement, then it's condemned to a very, very small voice and limited short-term impact.

And that means for the animal rights movement: Social entities like compassion, empathy and suffering are very important factors to motivate humans to change their behaviour. In contrast, abstract-rational entities, like personhood or rights, are not. I don't disagree with that, as most people are conformists.

The animal rights movement, such as it is, is experiencing somewhat of a crisis of usage. On the language front, only time will tell who wins more of the time, as who's "right/correct" can change at any point. Once again, the people wrote the rules (43).

Most informative for a discussion about vegan advocacy is the section about the animal rights movement (and unfortunately he alternately calls it “animal protection” and also refers to welfare, perhaps because of the Humane Research Council’s study that people prefer the word “protection”).
