Rights
|
Other Types of
Animal Advocacy
|
|
Food and Fiber
|
Eliminate use of nonhuman animals by
establishing* their right not to be used by humans. Teach, and demand
that institutions teach, truth about animal nature, including humans'
herbivorous nature, and nonhuman animals' experience, including
debasement through enslavement, breeding, and use in addition to
suffering from use. |
Welfarism: Oppose "cruelest"
practices through consumerism and legislation; urge people to eat
less meat but do not alienate caring people by opposing industries.
Abolitionism: Promote vegan lifestyle; support legislation if it
bans a practice rather than merely regulates it. Both: Expose "cruelty";
urge people to care more about nonhuman animals. |
|
Experimentation
& Testing
|
Eliminate use of nonhuman animals by
establishing their right not to be used by humans. Teach, and demand
that institutions teach, origins of human disease and suffering
in delusional practice and institutions rather than in lack of biomedical
research; origins of perceived need of personal-care and household
products in civilization rather than in nature. Teach unreliability
of animal experiments & tests vis á vis human wellbeing. |
Welfarism: Urge scientists to use "less-invasive"
rather than "more-invasive" methods and agencies and institutions
to require them. Do not alienate caring people by opposing animal
use; don't publicly renounce claims that "some good" comes
of animal use. Abolitionism: Fight animal use by protesting particular
experiments, and their funding; expose extreme suffering; promote
literature showing harm to humans as well as nonhumans from animal
use. |
|
Recreation
|
Eliminate use of nonhuman animals by
establishing their right not to be used by humans. Teach delusional
origins of hunting, fishing, and other recreational animal use;
nonhuman animals' experience; and their unjust loss & deprivation
when used by humans as well as acute and prolonged pain and suffering. |
Welfarism: Oppose "cruelest"
trapping and hunting methods; work to improve laws and regulations

community kills. |
|
Pets
|
Eliminate use of nonhuman animals by
establishing their right not to be used by humans. Teach origins
of current pet fetish in meat and allied industries and humans'
loss of extended-family social unit. A happy slave is a debased
animal - human or nonhuman. |
Welfarism: Work for stricter animal-welfare
laws and enforcement; teach people best animal- care methods. Avoid
alienating people by opposing animal breeding and ownership. Abolitionism:
Oppose breeding, racing; equivocate on service and using animals

selling animals to laboratories. Model love, affection, and compassion
for nonhuman animals. |
