Our aim is to talk

Once we have an aim, such as going vegan, and have cleaned up our act by going vegan, we’re in a position to be useful. Once we’re eating from plants, clothing ourselves from plants and thereby coming to terms with our conscience, then we’re in motion. First, learning new ways of preparing food, learning about basic nutrition (for our own safety) and then moving on from there to learn about modern-day animal-husbandry (concerning the animals’ unsafety).
To set this ball rolling we need confidence in all sorts of ways. We need it to confirm our decision to go vegan, then we need it to carve out great chunks of time and energy for the ‘work in hand’ (involving learning new information and methods needed for talking about this subject). Already our own vegan diet has started off this process, generating self-confidence, but it comes more so, when we start thinking more deeply about it all. Our thoughts develop from food to the animal sacrifices made for food. We start thinking about how it might be ended - the slaughter. And we come to Animal Rights.
“Oh!” We have to entertain thoughts like “No more lobster, no more ...”.
This whole matter is far too serious to think about human inconveniences. This history of exploitation has to be put to rights. It has to be about them rather than me. It’s the story of their suffering we’re learning about rather than my health and enjoyment. Once we’re on this path we’re advocates-true, and so much closer to being able to talk about it sensibly. Sensible talk (truth) is interesting talk. Now we have a whole generation of people wanting one thing - information (truth in other words). And that is precisely what vegans can come up with. (Over thirty years I’ve never heard any arguments saying vegans are lying!).
Once we’re established as practising vegans then we can move into advocacy. And yes, that might mean getting a communication ‘up-skill’. Animal advocates who aim to promote the liberation of ‘food-animals’ need to convince people to stop supporting the Animal Industry, that all. But that means introducing the whole matter of animal-use to people who’d have otherwise not thought about the subject.
