It's been a couple weeks since I did one of these posts - apologies.
Recently I've been reading some work of animal rights / liberationists with an abolitionist approach that would suggest that signing campaigns isn't very constructive and can be a waste of time.
I would beg to differ, because every now and then either on Twitter, or by email, I hear back about a campaign (such as the one below) that has been successful in achieving its objective. And even if the campaign hasn't been successful in its ultimate objective, it has still raised awareness of a vital issue.
Every voice that is lent to a campaign - be it marching on the street or quietly adding a signature to an online petition - helps.
YOU are a custodian of this beautiful planet and all of its inhabitants.
YOU are a voice for the voiceless.
YOU are a voice for the voiceless.
Thank you.
