Animal Rights, Pacifist, Activist, Passive- Resistance, and Animal Rights Activist

~I borrowed this from personaldietingmentor.com

"I've become more and more motivated to keep confronting those that just don't do enough for animal rights! According to a Google search on the phrase animal rights, I find three similar definitions that cover a broad range of ideas. "Rights believed to belong to animals to live free from use in medical research, hunting, and other services to humans;" "The concept that animals are entitled to certain fundamental rights such as the right to be spared undue suffering;" and "The rights to humane treatment claimed on behalf of animals, especially the right not to be exploited for human purposes." What I get out of it all is that they are not ours to do with as we please. This sounds just like slavery! The human mind and its ability to find legitimacy in the most inhumane places has never ceased to amaze me. Is it just the insatiable need to have more than the next guy or is it a true feeling of inadequacy to have to always be in control of everything? I'm sure it's probably a little of both.

I find that more people would rather stand on the sidelines and "not get involved." I hate that saying! I know from first hand knowledge that not enough people stand up to the inequities in life, let alone stand up to the bullies in life! I remember bullies in grade school, but kids never killed themselves because they couldn't stop from being bullied. Everyday, I hear groups calling for greater accountability and for "smaller government." I am not exactly sure what a smaller government is, but I know there needs to be a change. The ironic part of our governmental system is that it is a republic. Contrary to popular belief, we do not live in a democracy. In a democracy, everyone is required to cast their vote and contribute to the decision making process. Democracy can only work when everyone is involved. A republic is a system of government by which a representative is elected that is a reflection of his constituent’s wants, feelings, and desires. This representative is elected on the premise of doing "the people's work." Without getting into an involved political science discussion, in a republic, we also have the ability to recall (vote to remove from office) someone that is not meeting the needs for those whom elected him into office... I feel that there is not enough of this accountability occurring.

This brings me to my thesis of this paper.  Vegan-ism is defined as eliminating the practice of consuming animal products including eggs and milk, not using animal derivatives, and not using animals for testing and experimentation purposes. I argue that vegans not only abstain from those practices, but that vegans are advocates for animal rights as well. Since animals cannot speak for themselves and vegans have the broadest understanding of animal abuses, hidden animal ingredients in non-food based items, if vegans do not speak for the animals, then who will? It turns out that vegans always have the opportunity to tell others what veganism is all about, why they have chosen to live a vegan lifestyle and in so doing encourage others to do the same. Here is where a divide typically occurs, though. There are some vegans that will never back down from a chance to present the facts about the health risks associated with the consumption of animal products, inform about animal farming practices, and discourage medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biological testing on animals. The majority of vegans do not do this, however. Their default position is that no one wants to be told that what they are doing is wrong and that nobody wants to "hurt anyone's feelings." Without a doubt, animals that share many of the same physiological characteristics as humans: central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, digestive system, reproductive systems and are able to see, smell, taste, feel, and hear just as humans do. So how does a vegan that claims that they do not consume animals nor encourage animal abuse feel that allowing their family and friends to do so warrants no response and no continued action towards prevention? A vegan's ultimate goal is to eliminate all suffering and killing, but when that is not possible, to minimize its impact to the greatest extent possible. If the vegan feels that animal abuse is unjustified, is not the act of confrontation the lesser of the two, easier? Standing up to the abuser causes no violence to them, no suffering, no abuse, and no death. Words are less painful and less lethal as well.

A vegan that does not eat animals but still uses animal products is a vegetarian... One can't go along for the ride while others rob a bank and not expect to share the responsibility. One cannot get into a car sober and let the one that has been drinking to drive and not expect that they could die... and one can't let others sell drugs out of one's home and think they cannot be held accountable to the authorities. Pacifism describes one that feels opposed to the violence, but doesn't do anything about it. Pacifists are described as: "Someone opposed to violence as a means of settling disputes;" "One that follows a doctrine that all violence is unjustifiable;" and "One that believes that war and violence are morally wrong, regardless of the circumstances." There is nothing in this description about one would do to end the violence. There is no action other than what one believes in. There are no animal rights pacifists!

Some could say that they practice, passive-resistance, that they fight against the cruelty but without confrontation, but that would be inaccurate for these individuals as well. Passive-resistance is described as: "The practice of achieving socio-political goals through symbolic protests, civil disobedience, economic or political non-cooperation, and other methods, without using violence;" and "Non-violent opposition to authority, especially a refusal to cooperate with legal requirement."

The problem with this is that we have to go back to their default position of, "I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings," and "I don't want to get involved." Passive-resistance is about being involved to make change. Telling someone that you disagree with their point of view and leaving it at that does nothing. No social change ever came about from one saying, "I don't like that behavior." That is only the foundation of opposition, but changes do not occur unless there is movement. For example, going to Sunday dinner and not eating the animal products demonstrates that you don't eat animal products. Not going to the Sunday dinner can be your passively demonstrated way to not partake in that event. Not going to the horse races demonstrates that you don't want to be a partner to animal abuse, but it also demonstrates that you don't want to partake in the festivities with those individuals because of the behaviors they do. The point is that you have to do something and the other has to know that you are doing it! It has to be visible and it has to be memorable or your protest goes unnoticed.

Lastly, there is activist. We are familiar with the terms, human rights activist and animal rights activist. An activism can be described as: "Intentional action to bring about social, political, economic, or environmental change;" "One who is politically active in the role of a citizen, especially one who campaigns for change and one who is conspicuously more active in carrying out any occupational or professional functions;" and "The attitude of taking an active part in events, especially in a social context." Sitting back, just providing information, being subtle, being passive-aggressive, and being passive-resistive is not being vegan. They are not compatible. While vegans want peace for all living creatures, since 95% of the United States is not vegan, taking a passive approach does nothing for change. No one would be passive about their children skipping school or stealing, no one would be passive if being accused of a crime they didn't commit, and no one would be passive if their life was in jeopardy. That is the point. The majority are doing so much damage to the planet, that while the planet will recover when all of us are gone, there is little hope for recovery while we are ravening it! Additionally, since there are so few of us, we can't afford to let some people do things one way as others say, "I am going to do things my own way." The argument is not about what we want to do or how you and I feel about any of this, but it is about how the animals feel about it. They don't want to be abused, they don't want to be cooped up, caged up, corralled up and fenced up... and they definitely don't want to be murdered, raped, and abused!

There has to be consistency! If you don't believe in animal cruelty, then you have to prove it. Your actions will speak volumes more than your words in this case as actions are killing our animal cousins. It is going to take actions to challenge action! It is going to take facts to challenge myths and it is going to take courage to overcome cowardness!"

Clifford Carroll is raising his children to trap and kill wildlife, never telling his kids that the animals that they barbarically trap, shoot, stomp, stab etc.  feel the same fear and pain that they do,  or that they love their lives like they do.

Hunting is a stubborn holdover from our country's racist past. While many still consider it an annual rite of passage for white children to stalk through rural communities with loaded guns, it is a crime for a minority child to possess a gun in his urban neighborhood. A gun remains a traditional right for many boys in white, rural America, a tradition that would get a Latino boy killed or imprisoned in our cities. That we allow, even encourage, one segment of our population to run amuck with guns, while imprisoning others, is blatantly racist. 

In a year when many cities are struggling with a disturbing reemergence of gun violence, America must rethink the continued glorification of guns and killing. The cruel reality of hunting blurs the message we deliver to our children about guns and violence in this country. We cannot simultaneously discourage gun violence and encourage hunting. Both cruelty and compassion are contagious, and it is our responsibility to plant the seeds of a compassionate culture for future generations. Children who learn to empathize with animals are much more likely to become empathetic adults. There is nothing good that comes from the murder of vulnerable creatures. Hunting teaches it is acceptable, even admirable, to kill a defenseless creature. Hunting is the opposite of caring. 

We should celebrate when our children plant their first tree or spend their first day volunteering at a homeless shelter -- not when they gun down their first defenseless animal.  [excerpt from the article Hunting -- It's bad for animals, it's bad for America by Kelly Overton]

The highly touted and farm-oriented 4-H program is a skillful brainwashing program for preparing farm youth to accept the slaughter of their “pet” project animals each summer for money. Each 4-H youth that raises a cow, sheep, goat or hog, competes for trophies. Then the animals are auctioned to local businesses that donate heavily to assure nice cash profits. Thus the children, through group and social pressure, are forced to surrender for slaughter the living creature they raised and loved for nearly a year.

After a few consecutive years of doing this, and building a nice nest egg of cash for college, these kids eventually learn to kill farm animals without conscience. The objective thus turns to money.

Another Monster in Russia

I want to cut her smile off of her face with a sharp machete!

Who are doghunters? Dog hunters are those who: ⁃ are killing animals (mainly dogs) illegally; ⁃ are killing animals in a cruel manner; ⁃ are killing dogs and other animals by means that pose danger to people’s safety and health; ⁃ are taking advantage of any opportunity to kill an animal, legal or not; ⁃ are encouraging people to kill dogs and other animals by the above mentioned means; ⁃ are spreading instructions on how to kill animals. It is an organized group of people, acting on the territory of Russian Federation and neighboring countries. They position themselves as “doghunters” (de facto just sadists) and have their own rules and the statement. They undertake illegal actions: illegal killing of stray and family pets (mainly friendly dogs and puppies) in extremely violent and in many cases dangerous for people ways (scattering poison in the streets, parks, playgrounds, using guns in populated areas, etc.). These people are mainly gathering on the web-site vreditelyam.net, which is aimed at spreading instructions for killing animals and calls for actions, and also for posting reports about murders and abuse. Future and already committed murders are discussed here, photos, videos and calls for violence towards animal activists and stray pets guardians are also posted. They are proud of their ability to find loopholes in laws of Russian Federation, thus escaping punishment. They are consulting their special lawyer. Such violence, aggression and cynicism are seen in psychology as personal abnormality (psychopathy). According to psychologists’ such people are potentially dangerous for others. Like many maniacs and murderers slaughteres – doghunters justify their violence on the ground of abstract humane aims and claim to have “mythically good aim” – saving humankind from evil – in this particular case saving women and children from stray dogs. But in reality they are people with low moral standards, who violently kill harmless and neglected dogs, puppies, crows, less frequently cats and pets. Surprisingly, their actions hurt those who they wanted to protect – children, who are poisoned with toxic substances they spread, sometimes even lethally. Physical violence towards animals is included in clinical picture of behavioural disorder presentation (F91) in International Classification of Diseases together with other forms of character disorder (stealing, lying, physical violence towards people).

Serial Killers always keep souvenirs

The smug look of a serial killer

Serial Killer at work in his basement

One of his victims

Tools of the trade

Serial Killers often pose in pictures with their victims as they are so proud of the pain and anguish they have caused

It is the disconnect i think that bothers me the most that he feels nothing for this raccoon suffering in this steel jaw leg hold trap that is factually excruciatingly painful

Opossums are gentle loving creatures that love their lives and their babies, they are good for the environment.  I had an opossum that lived with me because she was too tame after an injury recovery to be released back to the wild, and i know how she was and for this idiot to be so callous makes me sick

This person is a monster in my book!

Please send him literature and information about why he should stop this sadistic sport and how he is training his kids to do be sadists also, after all how do you separate the killing of innocent lives because one speaks and one doesn't? Please be respectful if you contact

Sport-hunting is typically an annual game for cowards, losers, sexually inept idiots, and morally awkward outcasts. There will be the argument of killing what you eat when less than 40% of sport-hunters murder defenseless animals for meat. Trust me, they ARE defenseless. They have hooves and horns, where you have guns and knives. Traditional sport-hunters are obviously at a superior weapon advantage which makes the entire game a sadistic excuse for blatant murder. It's the equivalent of going into someone's yard and shooting their chained up dog. The thrill? Chasing the animal through the forest and hunting them down to put a bullet or an arrow through their fleshy hide. 

It's known as a sport but it isn't, not at all. A sport involves opponents and a point to the game. Sport-hunting involves rummaging through shrubbery for a clear shot at an unsuspecting animal. There's no sport in killing something that is ultimately powerless against you. Sport-hunting is the direct way for unappreciated rednecks to feel accomplished over doing something that is considered macho. We do not live in the troglodyte era anymore, and overpopulation has absolutely nothing to do with it. If I were to go out and sport-hunt human beings, I could use the excuse of overpopulation and it would be completely true. I'd also be incarcerated, if caught, but that's another story. Whereas, sport-hunting animals is legal and subject to nothing more than a slap on the wrist if a cowardly dumb-ass kills something on the endangered list. 

If you're a sport-hunter, you're immediately a complete waste of life and you deserve to be mauled by those defenseless deer you so covet to kill. I genuinely pray that a bear rips you to shreds and there's no one around the woods to mourn your camouflaged, testicular impaired death; because mark my words, those who sport-hunt have no balls to speak of.  The people who go out to sports stores and buy every bit of camouflage and ammunition known to man, with the intention of sport-hunting; probably in a group with other Neanderthals. 

The sad thing is; people, especially men, will comment on how much fun it is to act like they've got no sense and shoot something in the forest. They'll make bogus statements about how their prey bled and how great they feel for snuffing out another innocent life. Sadist motherfuckers. They'll get their children involved in sport-hunting and teach them that it's okay to kill something for fun, leaving it to rot. Those kids will grow into the replicas of their fathers and the cycle continues. You're not a hero and you're not proving anything when you kill something that you deem inferior to yourself. You're just a wretched creature deserving of a bullet to the forehead. I know there will be several people who will make up some excuse as to why sport-hunting should stick around, but the fact remains that you're simply too heartless to know any better.
