For me, seeing the figures in the example about how more animals are actually being consumed was really good. The numbers don't lie and examples like that make it easier for how my brain works to see things in concrete and not just abstract ways.<br /><br />While none of us want to see more animals actually being consumed, hopefully those who are in the "no-longer-eat-red-meat-eat-chicken-instead" group will next find a resource like One Step for Animals. :)<br /><br />Again, great writing. I especially like the last two sentences:<br />"No matter how strong we think our arguments are, no matter how noble our intentions or passionate our desires, when we advocate without considering human nature, history, and the numbers, we cause more animals to suffer and die.<br /><br />If we want to help animals, we need to advocate for animals."<br /><br />Now how to get all advocates & activists on board with that? Maybe there needs to be a similar resource as One Step for Animals, but targeted towards advocacy...One Step for Angry Vegans... ??<br />:)<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080100467430383802noreply@blogger.com
