The animal rights movement is (rightly) closely associated with protesting things like factory farming, dogfighting, etc…basically, the mistreatment of animals. Yes, of course it is too bad that so many animals (most often rats, mice and rabbits) have to be killed. This makes perfect sense. The logic of this is ridiculous.

Both, of course, were seen as victories, but the article's author, Richard Foot, asks: Do such successes mean the animal rights movement is winning its long, controversial campaigns to gain the same legal protections for animals as those ascribed to humans?

It has absolutely nothing to do with any genuine environmentalist ethic. And not all organizations that advocate for animals claim to have a "genuine environmentalist ethic," and the ones that do must subscribe to his ethic or they're not genuine? Like I said, the entire animal rights "ethic" is both cynical and dishonest.

The question of course is, are you really significantly decreasing suffering? Films, blogs, books, e-zines, sanctuaries, protests, promotion of adoption (of humans and nonhumans!). And of course, examples of people from all walks of life who have chosen justice over their palate or their fashion sense. It's just not in me.
