Blog: The Casualties of Green Scare  



Today it is not legal, but economic standing that protects a life - and it is not a lack of rights (human, civil or animal) but a lack of empathy that is the problem; a problem that promises lives of misery and despair for an overwhelming majority of the earth’s creatures. Instead of fighting to establish rights for animals, maybe activists should work to instill compassion in humans.

Excellent piece which was also made into a youtube video I posted a while ago. I do not agree that animal activists should change their tack tho. As with slavery a lot of people do not want to change the status quo and must be 'forced' to change before they will see how little empathy they had in hindsight.
