Below is the (form) letter I received about my disapproval of 1) drilling in any of our protected lands, and 2) the ‘reclassification’ of public lands for the benefit of resource extraction.

In issuing its condemnation of established cultural practices, the rights view is not antibusiness, not antifreedom of the individual, not antiscience, not antihuman. It is simply projustice, insisting only that the scope of justice be seen to include respect for the rights of animals. Might does not make right; might does make law.
