I just feel at this current moment in time, that there are much more important things that we should be worrying about than animal rights. For instance, Global Warming. It's estimated that BILLIONS of people are going to die because of Global Warming by the end of the century. I agree, animals are living creatures, and should definitely have rights, but you're spreading yourself too thin when you campaign for these causes. Here's a list of what I feel is at least one hundred times more important than animal rights;
-
Islamic Fundamentalism
-Global Warming
-Economy (For instance, cost of living is up, inflation is rising, gas prices are creating stagnancy, and the current economy only benefits those that are in the upper echelon.)
-Stem cell Research (If Federal Grants were provided, Stem Cell Research would be in it's advanced stages, and we could cure serious ailments. My family is host to several forms of cancer, and otherwise terminal illnesses, and it pains me to think that they won't be cured because of some hypocritical, and often controlling agenda.)
-National Security (Our National Security is a joke. Just over 6 months ago, State Official snuck enough radioactive material into this country to make two dirty bombs. This was a test done by our own compatriots to prove to us how insecure our borders really are.)
-Poverty
-Poor Education System (Japan is cruising by us with their excellent education system. We need to model our Education system after Japan's, and in the process will create a surge in intellectualism. Right now, our current Education System breeds only ignorance. I found out about the joys of Politics on my own. My school taught me nothing. Not even the basic civic duties, such as voting and paying taxes.)
Only after we solve these problems, or attempt, will I campaign for such things as Animal Rights and Veganism. (I happen to be both)
