Because I've been thinking about the evolution of my own thinking--and languaging--regarding animal rights. Both animal rights groups and animal welfare groups use "compassion" frequently. No matter how they are treated, is it right to use them? Why all the quotation marks? Then again, so do people who kill animals for a living.
Perhaps it is the industry's inability to evolve morally that is behind the times. Vegans give money to organizations that they think are going to further their vegan cause but that's not what ends up happening with all 100% of those donations (let's assume some goes to vegan education or animal rescue or even openrescue).
But the ease with which we can tell our stories and post our videos must not render us incapable of moral judgment and decency. Free Speech may be a noble ideal, but perhaps we are better served by thinking of it not only as a right but also as a privilege. They certainly depict cruelty to animals, right? What do you think?
