These days I think it’s often up to individuals to directly help the animals, people, and Earth.... Especially when in the U.S. the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act of 2006 and ag-gag laws in many states have hindered animal advocacy organizations. Signing online petitions, bearing witness, peddling “awareness” merchandise, and other obsolete tactics have taken the teeth out of these groups, and then there are the “panhandlers” from corporate animal advocacy organizations. Global corporations rule the world, with governments increasingly as an extension of that dominance. So it’s up to citizens to take action on our own, guided by our conscience and using the skills and means that we each have to be of practical help to anyone who needs it.

Credit for this modified post is due to another poster. I just modified it because I liked how the poster put it. Please check out these books:

"Beyond Bullets - The Suppression of Dissent in the United States" by Jules Boykoff; "Green is the New Red - An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege" by Will Potter; and "Animal Oppression & Human Violence - Domesecration, Capitalism and Global Conflict" by David A. Nibert; AND "Total Liberation - The Power and Promise of Animal Rights and the Radical Earth Movement" by David Naguib Pellow (the section on SHAC and SHAC7, especially).
