How "Developed" is the Animal Rights Movement?

[Words To Inspire Debate.]

Q: New Zealand, like Australia, is a country heavily dependent on animal agriculture. Do you feel NZ fails in comparison to other countries due to this, in regards to animal rights, or do you feel, from a rights based perspective, the animal rights movement isn’t very well developed anywhere?

I agree with your second approach, that NOWHERE in the world has a well developed “movement” (not fond of saying The M Word, makes me think of Bowels…much like how my “Culture” usually starts with "Streptococcus"), although I certainly enjoy portray http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invercargillmy city of 50,000 as having “a thriving Vegan Society,” with her ONE Member in-your-face “New Zealand Vegan Society” http://www.vegansociety.co.nz/ and "Auckland Abolitionist Vegan Association! http://www.aabva.org/

 

As with all people who haven’t been included yet, if you are an Abolitionist Vegan, I’d love to have an opening “Bumper” intro from you! http://coexistingwithnonhumananimals.blogspot.com/2010/12/intro-bum... 

 

The more people from around the world mentioning their own sites, OR Twitter accounts, the better! 

 

It’s great to stay in touch with Vegans from around the world :-)
