<p>A very interesting approach that certainly merits consideration. I agree that it is important for animal rights to strenthen alliances with other movements to affect positive change. I am particularly interested in examining the notion of viewing all of us as potential meat, while recognising that we are all MORE than meat. This may help humans to focus on identifying with other species and seeing our similarities rather than our dfferences. Clearly we can look beyond this simplistic labeling of a sentient being as meat and make an ethical decision to respect their life, given that they are individuals with greater potential and interests than ending up in our bowels. It is great that we can easily choose alternatives that respect an individual's potential and embrace a vegan lifestyle that seeks to not objectify and exploit. By the way, thanks Billi for the link to 'Being Prey' - looking forward to checking it out.</p> Being Prey ~ Val Plumwood
