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.

If we judge this moral elite by its adherence to something like the Golden Rule of the New Testament, there is not all that much room for its improvement, except, as I suggested earlier, for the extension of our moral sympathies to nonhuman animals.
