    I’m not suggesting we do nothing. I’m saying we shouldn’t expect information to drive action. If you want real change, you need to be political and you need to be proactive. Without regulations, we would still have children changing bowling pins 12 hours a day while smoking unfiltered cigarettes and drinking polluted water. If you want to reduce animal suffering, you need legislation to regulate factory farming. Any change would need to be gradual regardless, but any positive change is a reason to celebrate.

      You are free to disagree with the idea that ordinary people continue to participate in animal abuse purely out of ignorance, but veganism is an abolitionist movement, and this is not a place to promote regulation or gradual reduction of animal abuse. I will not remove your comments, but you can consider this your only warning.
