Forum: Activist Discussion

Over here in the USA, one of the biggest topics of discussion is Gay and Equal Rights. I personally support Gay marriage and rights, but I want to know about you? Supporter? If yes, why? If no, why? :bobo:

i cant get myself to a watch a video, its not going to happen, but i heard some things about what they do the farm animals and i cant believe its even real. how can some people be so utterly HEARTLESS to treat animals that way? same with animal testing. i wont use any animal tested products to try...

Because rats are illegal (idiotic law), I want to see if I can get that law changed. I have never really done anything like this before and I don't know what to do to do this. Do petitions really help? Can I really change a law? Is it a really good idea to change this law? Rats aren't dirty...

So, anyone else addicted to wikipedia? I know I am, and millions of others are, around the world. From checking google, it appears there are a few vegan wikis out there, but none seem to be current projects, and all are subdomain wikis with low article & member counts. I think it would...

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this :o but: I had my first Animal Welfare Club meeting at my high school the thursday before last, and I have to say, I was a little disappointed. A total of 14 people showed up, which isn't terribly bad, considering the amount of time I had to pass...

I've been dealing with "activist burnout" since I was 17, and am thinking about jumping back into it. I've been doing things slowly since I was 18 to get back on it (working at co-ops, a protest once in a blue moon), but no where near the level I was before hand. My question is, how do I avoid...

What is so bad about PETA? Are they really so horrible that we should ignore everything about them?

I'm really tired of there oozing celebrity status. I know it's good to have famous people on your side, but hypocrites isn't the way to go. A lot of people tell me it's all Ingrids doing. Having Khloe Kardashian(or one of those sisters) posing in an ad that says not to wear fur, then wearing a real...

Every minute I am constantly thinking about the poor animals stuck in these awful nightmare labs. My family says I am being radical. There is a testing lab near our house and all I can think of is how I can get these animals out of there. I'm a friggin' mess. Darn internet. Changed my way of...

I did it and you can do it too! Low cost and a little effort you can have your own animal rights TV program that will reach THOUSANDS of people! I will explain... Most moderately sized towns/cities in the united states have public access stations. You can become a public access "producer" for a...

On Saturday 31st October, two Hunt saboteurs were the victim of a premeditated and unprovoked attack resulting in one needing hospital treatment for severe facial cuts and bruising and a suspected broken nose, during the attack the saboteurs were also threatened with a clasp knife. The attack...

Not sure if this should be in the News Section as it is a news story, but not exclusively about animals so I thought I'd post it in the activist forum. Mods feel free to move if neccessary. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/oct/25/police-domestic-extremists-database I'm sure this isn't...

I used to consider myself an abolitionist, but now I don't like to since it puts me in the company of so many total morons. I used to do rescues with an activist organisation, but am no longer involved with them for lots of reasons. Someone I know from the organic food co-op I work at was talking...
