And yes, I do think along with Murray Bookchin in Re-Enchanting Humanity, Janet Biehl in her articles on Deep Ecology in New Politics, the Stadtmeir piece referenced in that article (which I did not think was perfect by any means), the Michael Zimmerman book on Heidegger and Deep Ecology, that a sector of the animal rights movement and Deep Ecology in their anti-humanist, counter-enlightenment ideological basis/es are movements that s/b criticized as hostile to long time left goals and values.
