A special appeal letter from the president of ANIMAL PEOPLE

Dear friend,

 

I was sitting on a driftwood log at a local beach watching fireworks on the night of the Fourth of July with my son Wolf, home from his first year of college, when acquaintances of his from high school, who had graduated a year earlier, walked by where we were sitting and stopped to talk. One of the young men asked me about my work for animals, which he had heard took me to distant places in the world. He was particularly interested because his university studies had connected him with a social welfare engineering project that would benefit people in Bolivia.

 

I told the young man that ANIMAL PEOPLE's work in developing countries was a bit like social welfare in that we helped people in those places do the work they felt called upon to do for animals and which would eventually create a more civilized society with less violence and injustice. Wolf quoted Gandhi, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated," and explained that whenever one group of people wants to victimize another, they first label them "animals." By raising the floor on what can be done to animals, you limit the harm that will be perpetrated on other people. I added that it has always been apparent to me that what people are willing to do to an animal they will happily do to another human being if they feel they can get away with it. The young man replied that in those terms we seemed to be "cutting off cruelty at the source," and confessed that he had never thought of it that way before.

 

I should have been glad to have changed the perspective of one more thoughtful person that night, and yet I was left feeling discontent, and it took a while for me to understand why this was so.

 

Finally I realized what was wrong with the picture: a young college student of about 21 today - obviously an intelligent and reflective person who has grown up in a progressive part of the United States - should have thought about it all before. He should have been exposed to the basic ideas and arguments of animal rights long before now.

 

That the animal movement has not done enough to engage youth is not exactly a stunning revelation.
