Let's be united and stop being purists, we need the masses to reach effective numbers. Risking arrest is the only way. And history has already shown us what we need to do. Thank you Wayne. Looking forward.

Playing the Devil's Advocate:

For animal activists, "intersectionality" with social-justice activists is a one-way street. We are supposed to help oppressed humans, many of whom don't care at all about oppressed animals. Many social justice warriors themselves are also speciesists. Human problems, including some issues of human rights, will never end because they are caused by human behavior. If we make animals wait until human problems are solved, they will wait forever. Since the most oppressed victims on the planet are animals, they cannot wait.

Unlike other animals, oppressed people (oppressed by their beloved fellow man) don't suffer as much indignity, hypocrisy, and mockery as other animals because oppressed people are not TOTALLY STRIPPED of any and all moral and legal standing, or completely stripped of lives worth living from conception to untimely death!

"For most commentators, blurring the boundary between humans and nonhumans in order to harm humans more easily is disturbing, not because it raises questions about how we treat nonhuman beings, but because it threatens our superior status as humans."
