Personal Reflection: Animal Rights Movement Must Go Bigger

A new animal lover friend shared the thought of how lonely those very few who opposed slavery in the 1800's felt when it was considered normal, moral, and just  by the majority. 

According to my friend's analogy, it is gratifying to know though that human slavery, in the form of the 1800's is history, and even when there are new cases of modern slavery emerging all over, we can say that today it is popularly unaccepted by the masses, what brings me hope that today's systemic animal exploitation will also be a thing of the pass.

My only regret is having to live in the historical moment when by the time I am writing this, animals are used, abused, exploited, enslaved, tortured... and for most people it is still ok. 

I believe animal slavery and exploitation will one day be a thing of the past, but each day it is still a thing of the present, it is necessary for those of us who oppose such slavery and cruelty to hurry up, animals can't wait. I always think the animal rights movement need an Al Gore that start a global initiative. Today the environmental movement is widely spread and it's been adopted by the main stream society. We need something like that happening to the animal rights movement. Maybe start a fund to be able to bring the animal rights message main stream and put it in front of the eyes of all the people. We need people taking over the air waves, and make it to radio, tv. We need columnists in the most important newspapers, I think if we don't think big and go big, it is going to take much longer for animals to see the end of their sad reality.
