Animal Rights: Moral Crusade or Social Movement?

"Religion and science also provide a foundation to patriarchy, which situates man as superior to women, children, animals and nature. Embedded within patriarchy is the notion of the ‘other.’ Women, children, animals and nature are the other. ‘He is the Subject, he is the Absolute,’ wrote Simone de Beauvoir in The Second Sex, ‘she is the Other.’ (de Beauvoir, 1986, 16) As women are the other to men, so, animals are the other to humans. Otherness empowers power and control, which licenses exploitation."

Words Without Action Are Meaningless

"We have no revolution. We have no movement. We have welfarists and pacifists — equally complicit in the holocaust by virtue of their unconscionable tolerance, timidity, and tacit approval; “abolitionists” who have co-opted a term, eradicated the spirit of revolution, and armed themselves with spatulas and aprons. And here I am, as culpable as the weakest activist, but naked with no rationalizations to defend myself."

Killer Panda: WWF Gives Panda Stamp of Approval for the Killing of Marine Mammals

"I am sure that many of WWF’s 5 million members will be shocked to discover that their donations are supporting the slaughter of pregnant and protected marine mammals in the name of ‘responsible’ and ‘environmental’ salmon farming. WWF’s ‘Killer Panda’ is effectively loading the bullets to shoot seals and sea lions. Please stop the certification of lethal salmon farms as “responsible” by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council. WWF’s support for the killing of marine mammals is irresponsible and can only bring the WWF global brand into further disrepute."
