About us
We are a group of activists with years of experience in Animal Rights & vegan education;
Abolitionists who partially support the abolitionist approach of Gary Francione (of course violence can be justified) and admire the work of the likes of James LaVeck and Tom Regan.
However, after a long period of critical thinking and deep analysis, we have come to realize that focusing on
vegan education/persuasion
to nonviolence/justice will take us to where we aim.
An attempt to change humans' natural way (i.e. selfishness, greed, bloodlust) is a tragic mistake (as Screaming Wolf explained so very well already in 1991).
Instead, we decided to take a different path and to invest our time and resources to
promote the development of Cultured Meat
(some of us also focusing on promoting "meat substitutes" / "meat alternatives"
and others believe there is Only One Solution).
Unlike other paths, we believe this one can actually lead to a significant change in global meat consumption.
A different act someone in our position may consider is continuing with current activity and wait for "nature" to do its work
(in form of significant global crisis, which will arrive and somehow force a world without livestock).
Most of us, however, cannot see this scenario evolving, at least not in the next 20 years (despite Albert Bartlett's compelling lecture)
- which is enough time to figure whether cultured meat can "replace" farmed meat.
Like the "persuasion path", the path we chose is also characterized by a long-term vision.
Although we cannot say our new path has a great chance to create a significant change, at least it
has one, what we cannot say about other paths in our movement.
It is worth noting that our new path by no way means a surrender to the vision of Animal Rights.
We are and will remain committed to Animal Rights.
