Why is it that animal rights activists, or those who categorize themselves as such, use such hate & anger towards others who do not think as they do? No where in the span of history has force made a change that was positive and/or a step closer to compassion. You cannot make someone 'feel' like you or believe what you do. Not everyone is passionate about animal by-products that are used by us. If we want others to hear us out & be open-minded, shouldn't we show the same courtesy? People have the ability & right to form their own opinion & beliefs, so let them.
Using foul language, name calling, arguing over the internet, & basically attacking each other does nothing but create resistance. People, by nature, get defensive when they feel like they are being attacked...whether that be physical, verbal, mental...we all close up & dig our heels into the ground to make the offender see where they are coming from' & think the way they think. Then arguing & all that jazz on the internet is absolutely ridiculous! What good are you doing? None. You end up pissing people off, making animal rights/welfare activist all appear to be crazed & arrogant (which who wants to be like that?) & you lose sight of what the real issue is. It's not about who is wrong or right; it's not about how you or I feel, it's about the animals & their pain & suffering. Once you get into a pissing match with someone, it becomes all about 'proving them wrong'.
Can't we just all get along & be honest, kind people? I know, that's a lot to ask.
