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.
