A Postcard from Pennsylvania, on Animal-Rights Advocacy, in Dissident Voice
by Lee Hall
I just received a detailed and thoughtful letter from a reader of my recent book, Capers in the Churchyard. The letter is signed by Ava Barcelona, who’s with a Chicago-based group called Action Volunteers for Animals. Barcelona examines the book’s critique of militant and undercover actions against industries that use animals, its endorsement of vegan education over coercive acts, and its emphasis on integrity in activism — that is, its call for activists to integrate their vision into their methods, and model the kind of respectful society we’re hoping to bring about.
