Haranguing in public

As carefully as we try to convince regular omnivores about animal imprisoning, we may not succeed if we can’t lose the value judgement behind our advice. Greg, a Greek friend of mine, would say that trying to resolve this sort of situation satisfactorily is “an impossible dream”! Probably true. All the time we maintain the judgemental approach we never get even close to dislodging the illogicality behind omnivore-thinking. As free- willed choosers of their own food, omnivores will baulk at the moral codes of the smallest minority and be swayed by the laxer codes of the majority. It’s convenient for the omnivore that vegans are judgemental about values and morals - they look bitter and therefore uninspiring. Vegans are in a terrible position here, between acceptance of people for themselves and haranguing them for what they do.
One can’t underestimate the problems this poses for vegan animal activists.
