If the fact that I am the only person to comment on this story is any indication, I fear activists are doomed. Why aren't we making more of a fuss? Indeed, why aren't we for the moment focusing our energy on this RIGHT NOW, rather than engaging in the welfarist v. abolitionist debate? This Act threatens to hinder our ability to advocate for animals, and if we don't come together in solidarity, our cause could be lost. Will,
