Activists strategize at the Animal Rights National Conference – beefmagazine

News

Activists strategize at the Animal Rights National Conference Animal rights extremists are going to ramp up their efforts to abolish animal agriculture and move to a meatless society. Here’s their plan.

“A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog titled, “On activists, cyber bullying & meatless propaganda.”

The post emphasized the various strategies that animal rights and environmental extremistsemploy to harass producers, confuse consumers and widen the divide between rural and urban America.

A great example is the religious angle.

“The last barrier for animal rights groups is to win the war on religion,” said Wes Jamison, PhD, associate professor of public relations at Palm Beach Atlantic University. “Christians believe that we were created in the image of God, and animals are not. Activists understand this, so they are taking a philosophical call to arms against Christians to change the way we view animals and people. They want to try to influence people that eating animals is somehow morally wrong.”

Additionally, in recent weeks, we’ve seen activists target 4-H youth at county fairs.

We’ve seen these extremists try to team up with law enforcement and even buy Facebook shares to control the rhetoric on social media.”
