Freedom of speech

1212:

While we’re still able to speak out we should, while we still live in a land of free-speech.  If Animal Rights can be promoted as a valid non-violence-based protest movement, then once securely established, the authorities just might have something to worry about.  And the Animal Industries would certainly worry, if no one wanted their stuff any longer.

In these ‘early’ days of freedom-of-speech, we should be speaking up.  We can either quietly encourage people or shout from the rooftops – either way, if people are ever going to listen, they will listen because we have the courage of our convictions.  Our bravery, respect and outrage are our strengths, but we need quietness too - we need to listen and learn, to find out where other peoples’ head are, in order to see better  how to reach them.  It isn’t just a case of offering information but identifying what blocks people’s conscience and stops them thinking things out for themselves.
