The Go-Ahead


2031:

Omnivores have certain rights (not to listen to vegans if they don’t want to) but it’s maddening. Like the heckler who will not allow us to speak, there’s a lot of ducking and diving that goes on. We have to pretend not to notice, since we aren’t talking Animal Rights in order to make fools out of people.

Talk can be inspiring, and yet, throughout, we must be monitoring it to ensure we’re connecting with people and making sure we’re going to leave on good terms. When it doesn’t work, the conversation turns into a bun fight over who is most right. And that gets us nowhere and is of no help to the animals.
