"Animals are complicated and so is the animal-rights opposition. It's hard to read motives in animals, and hard to read motives in politics."

Previous Quote

My own experience has taught me not to underestimate the power of those who protest against cruelty. I'd also say that there may be a tendency to view the animal-rights opposition in somewhat distorted fashion as a new development, as the product of a very recent enlightenment about the rights due to animals.
