Zuerst Ich entschuldige mich weil ich diese auf English schreiben wird, weil ich mein Deutsch nich so gut ist. Ich hoffe dass ihr alle kann es verstehen.
Well, I saw there was a Gary Francione interview in the Texte section of this website, I was wondering if anyone shares his ideas.
I´m an animal rights activist in Spain and the work I do is basically "educating" people about how non human animals are sensitive beigns whose life matters to them, and that therefore we must respect that interest to live they have. I also talk to people about Spezismus and why discriminating an animal because it belongs to another specie is just as unethical as discriminating someone because he/she belongs to a different race, usw. I find this is the most effective way to fight specisism and end with it, because once we end with spezismus all the areas in which animals are used will dissapear.
However, I see almost no animal rights groups use this strategy, and it seems most animal liberation actions are related with direct action or fighting a especific use of animals (Pelz, Zirkus, usw). What´s the point of liberating animals from a lab if they are going to be replaced the day after? why doing actions against McDonalds, labs or fur industry if people will still eat meat, drink milk, or use animals in other way? Don´t you think it is more effective to educate people about animal liberation and veganism rather than attacking animals exploiters? After all they try to fullfill a demand which would exist if people gradually went vegan.
Anyway, hope to hear your opinion. Antwor auf Deutsch wenn du willst.
