The unthinking approach

1348: 

The original principle of non-violence is behind everything Animal Rights stands for.  With that in place one can’t justify hurting them. And withholding freedom from any sentient being by force comes under the heading of 'hurt'.


No one wants to hurt, but we humans are not used to resisting things we want.  We know we can overpower animals to get what we want.  Most animals aren’t protected by law, so we prey on them.  “Hang it, I’ll do what I’ve always done.  Everyone else does it so why shouldn’t I?”
