2034:
If an omnivore is willing to
accept the idea of animals having rights it implies they’re no longer willing
to accept the old idea that they can be exploited for human use. Coming to that
conclusion is the biggest or one of the biggest decisions one could make in
life.
When talking Animal Rights, bearing
in mind the significance of every detail we try to pass across, that it might
resonate or do the very opposite and get people’s backs up unnecessarily. You
never know how close they are to accepting our arguments. So, it’s better to be
safe than sorry. Affection is a good safety measure.
Without being patronising,
without being hyper-sensitive about this subject, we still have to be careful
how we deliver it. It mustn’t be over-packaged and we have to show respect for
the intelligence of the listener. Then we can expect some respect back. If
vegans don’t respect omnivores, as people, there’s no way they will listen to
us; figuratively speaking, we’ll never get our toe in the door. Emotionally,
they have to be on-side if we want our ‘message’ to make sense.
