over at Animal Rights and AntiOppression and I welcome comments (and will respond to the current ones shortly). But as far as the article goes, I particularly like: "a radical new vision is needed to rescue the importance of the vegan message for global crisis and situate it in its full social and ecological context.".

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. Then again, so do people who kill animals for a living. No matter how they are treated, is it right to use them?
