Rights

Attitude change can’t come soon enough for vegans. We wait impatiently for the human to be compassionate towards food animals. For animal-eaters of course, vegans and their ideas can’t disappear fast enough. We are a royal pain in the arse.
For us though, we want a chance to say something. Not to lecture but talk about our particular interest that may include introducing another type of cuisine. A chief interest for traditionalists however is to talk about their own ‘latest cuisine’. Both want to talk creativity, but each of a very different kind.
Looking at the psychology of things (why we go this way and not that way) we are sensitive to being criticised for taking the way we’ve gone. It’s the psychology of judgement, wanting to caste judgement and how it feels to be judged. Why do we react so hyper-sensitively to this sort of criticism? Why do we have to justify what we do? Why is it so hard for us to discuss … well, discuss this particular subject?
Surely it all boils down to fundamental attitude change, one that we advocate and omnivores resist. We believe our fellow humans should recognise that animals have rights, omnivores believe they have a right to NOT change, if they don’t want to.
