Resistance

Eating animals, wearing them, using them, it spoils everything. We do it so much. Our voracious appetite for their products is encouraged by the Animal Industries, and we the customer, respond accordingly. We spend so much of our money on all sorts of crap. We do it even though We know it’s wrong (that is, wrong for the planet, for our health and of course for the ‘health’ of the animals themselves). Nevertheless, we do it.
The Animal Rights movement has tried to swing people over, by pointing out the cruelty and health angles, but it doesn’t work and as communicators vegans eventually will need to understand why.
In the meantime, we will always be there in the community, applying pressure on people in whatever way we do it but, for some activists, we’ll need to foresee how things are going to change. We need to get into the rhythm of change as it happens, see the sequence of things, and recognise when it happens the drive that will take place, where the tipping point is reached and where many people quite quickly see what we’re going on about.
