Useful, Practical Help

1120:

Specifically vegans need to offer help, and our advice should be given with no strings attached.  We shouldn’t expect too much in return.
         
First up, we need to be concise and interesting, and never seeming to want to recruit.  Animal Rights doesn’t need followers, it needs individuals who have come to their own conclusions, who are able to be their own judge and jury.
         
In this regard, vegans need to be exemplars of non-violence.  When we get a chance to speak out for the animals we have to set the example of not trying to clobber our opponents, especially if it’s made easy for us.  We shouldn’t seem like bullies.  Even the most ardent opponent of Animal Rights should be regarded as a valuable challenge and a potential colleague.  Despite opposition, we should try to reach everybody.  We’re not merely after thousands of supporters but billions of them, so it’s best not to fall out with anyone, unnecessarily.  We might want quick results but it’s likely to be a long journey.
