People sometimes ask us, with all the suffering in the world, why do we focus on animals?
Because hardly anyone makes excuses for child abuse, and if they do, they are generally and rightfully ostracized by society.
Because hardly anyone makes excuses for rape, and if they do, they are generally and rightfully ostracized by society.
Because hardly anyone makes excuses for sweatshops, and if they do, they are generally and rightfully ostracized by society.
Because most people still make excuses for eating meat (which involves as much if not more suffering and death as all of the above), and when they do, only the enlightened few stand up for the animals.
Because although most people don't tolerate most types of violence and injustice towards humans, they both tolerate and partake in violence towards animals.
