Q: Human beings' attitudes and behaviour towards nonhuman animals is guided by a set of deeply speciesist ideas. Animal liberation must challenge these social values if it is to succeed - in practical terms, what can we do?

RonnieLee: 

Firstly, we have to educate people about the extent of animal persecution, why it is wrong and what they can do, even in a small way, to put an end to it.

We need to use effective ways to bring this education to the public, such as info stalls, library exhibitions, peaceful demonstrations and the use of the media. Local animal protection groups are an excellent way of getting the message out at a grass roots level, so we need to encourage and stimulate an extensive network of such groups.
