why forward an ill-reasoned and all around disgusting piece such as the
above?

when did the civil rights movement gain mass suport? right off the
start? when that old story about rosa parks took place?

so what if the rest of the population finds animal rights an
uninteresting issue? is that the basis/criteria of the value of a
project or goal?

imho, there is more value/honesty in the protests and actions of these
"adoloscent" activists than the impotent organizations populated with
the more "pragmatic", "mature" adults, that stand for the left in the
USA. it is not a matter of chance that successful protests and changes,
in other nations, were instigated and propelled by student movements.
minus the illogical psychobabble (about the motivation of the youth) the
above presents no arguments.
