It amazes me how people can seriously look at 3 decades of new welfarism and say that it's actually done anything positive for the animal rights movement. But part of the problem is that advocates aren't scrutinizing their own tactics - they are jumping on the biggest bandwagons they can find.Niilo John Van Steinburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200549134778194524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528521735436082423.post-76535254280646515442011-01-26T18:43:51.166-04:002011-01-26T18:43:51.166-04:00I agree.

Adoption and fostering are indeed crucial parts of animal advocacy!<br /><br />(BTW, for anyone interested, someone else wrote a piece about this Ottawa group yesterday that's worth reading: http://www.theoria.ca/theoria/archives/2011/01/ottawa-animal-defence-league-versus-winterlude-and-the-ottawa-humane-society.html)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800153451645970774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528521735436082423.post-88412951036562106952011-01-21T06:33:44.577-04:002011-01-21T06:33:44.577-04:00I just want to mention that rescue work should not...I just want to mention that rescue work should not be confused as a SIC. We save those who we have the legal right to, such as dogs and cats in high kill shelters. Sure we would love to rescue other animals, but we can't do so through legal measures. I push for legislation to make all "shelter" no-kill. Of course will use their work as a platform for veganism, but we realize that adoption as rescue is an important part of animal advocacy.The Compassionate Hedonisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425170232689454752noreply@blogger.com
