The rest of the animal advocacy community, which is the vast majority, who call themselves abolitionists, are abolitionists. I think of the time I spent writing about or talking about "Francione-style abolition," and "abolition." I say don't start talking about terms that mean nothing to them or using language that might alienate them.

Books are obvious opportunities for advocacy and vegan education.

There’s an imperative to get this message across to cat people who, like me, can be educated to value wild lives as much as we value the lives of our four-legged family members. Her images and words appear in various publications and educational materials. But she was me and I was her. Caring for our own is an element of survival.
