Domande poste con maggiore frequenza sull'Abolizione dello sfruttamento animale, Liberazione Animale e Attivismo - di Walter Bond
Questa lista di indicazioni è ben lontana dal potersi dire completa. Potrebbe comporsi di una parte 1, parti 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Prima o poi, comunque, le dedicherò molto probabilmente un intero capitolo nel libro che intendo pubblicare entro un paio d'anni. Tenete a mente che nessuna di queste domande è retorica. Tutte queste domande mi sono state poste, nel corso degli anni. Fate inoltre caso the brevity and incisiveness of my answers: in many of the conversations I've had on the subjects in question, the heart of the problem is in the details.
This is because, as he says 'Screaming Wolf' in the manifesto 'Declaration of War', "separate thoughts from feelings is part of the process of alienation that afflicts humanity." In fact, many people appreciate the perverse taste of carcasses of animals killed far more than they care about the free nature of those same animals. What they really want is that instances of veganism and animal liberation prove difficult to understand and therefore of little later.
So, instead of give slack to the idea of \u200b\u200bnarrow-mindedness, and wasting time with questions tediously lengthy, I have chosen to submit statements and answers. By doing this, consider morality an absolute value, refusing to play the part of those who are condescending to beg for understanding and attention. I return the ball to the sender, without too much trouble. Another important aspect is that some of these questions are answered only by those who are already familiar with instances related to animal rights. This is to be placed in direct correlation to the lack of dissemination of the material on the philosophy abolitionist and / or the strategy of the movement for animal rights. Obviously, they absolutely do not consider my answers / opinions as final. Some of those who call themselves 'abolitionists' might well consider my answers too much or too little extreme. All I can say is that these are my sincere considerations, the result of a deep love for animals, and the seriousness of the major efforts in activism, through leaflets, talks, and in some cases replacing the law of the State . If you are agree with some of my answers, feel perfectly free to use them in your turn. Otherwise, life goes on.
Animal Liberation, at any cost!
Walter Bond
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
- Perché promuovi solo il veganismo come stile alimentare?
Molte cose sono pesantemente soggettive, ma all'interno della zona grigia vi sono punti bianchi e neri. Lo sfruttamento degli animali è uno di quei punti neri. Esattamente come il razzismo è sbagliato sotto ogni aspetto, così la discriminazione operata sulla base dell'appartenenza di specie è radicalmente ingiusta. Perciò, o stai perpetrando scelte di consumo che appoggiano schiavitù, morte e sofferenza oppure non lo stai facendo, non esiste via di mezzo.
- Essere vegetariani non è forse un passo nella giusta direzione?
Ovviamente. Ad ogni modo, non è certo un punto di arrivo, bensì di partenza. E' positivo nei termini in cui rappresenta una tappa verso il veganismo, ed il veganismo è un momento di passaggio verso l'Azione Diretta.
- Ma molte persone guidano automobili e utilizzano i mezzi pubblici, queste tipologie di trasporto si appoggiano in qualche modo a prodotti di origine animale. Questo sinifica che non è possibile essere completamente vegan?
Il veganismo, come quasi tutto nella vita, non riguarda il raggiungimento della perfezione ma piuttosto consiste nel fare il massimo che ti è possibile e di conseguenza produrre il minor danno.
- Cosa faresti se ti trovassi a dover mangiare animali per sopravvivere?
Se mi trovassi su un aeroplano che si è schiantato nella frozen tundra and I was the only survivor, and an animal pass before my eyes, yes I would eat. As long as this condition is not present, Go Vegan!
- But anyone can help animals, not just vegans!
course. However, even a pedophile could save a child from a burning house. This single action will not remove a continuing trend, the exploitation and oppression.
- So for being an active Abolitionist Animal Liberation consists in being vegan?
No. Being vegan is just the first step. Abolitionist We are not opposed to animal exploitation simply in our daily consumption, but also in the reality that surrounds us.
- How do you do?
In a myriad of ways. We protest, inform, liberate animals from suffering and death and we will tirelessly to stop animal exploitation by industry and those who profit from this perversion. At any cost.
- "at all costs" seems to imply illegal or wrong?
Well, underground groups like the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), the Militia on the Rights of Animals (Animal Rights Militia) and the Department of Justice (Justice Department) operate in the so-called illegal way to stop the exploitation of animals. They are also Abolitionist.
- So to be regarded as an Abolitionist activist for animal liberation is necessary to break the law ?
No. Most of the abolitionists work well within the limits of the law, but not afraid to openly show their support for the actions of their comrades in the underground resistance.
- What other features should have an Abolitionist?
Whatever the tactics, legal or illegal, we fight and / or giving our opinion on behalf of the Total Animal Liberation. We are not interested to change the way in which animals are being used and abused. We strive to completely eliminate the use and abuse of non-human animals by humans. Furthermore, we do not we put the fake to the real value of the property value of life. An industry that requires a profit does not detract from this deadly dynamic. Sentient beings have the inherent right to live free without that man interfere. We feel also a sense of urgency that this exploitation terms here and now, not haggling endlessly a slight change in the status quo for decades to come.
- But according to what Gary Francione says, the abolitionists do not support the action illegal.
Try to imagine, as might be possible to say at the time of slavery abolitionists and blacks do not support the Underground Railroad? Would clearly be ridiculous. It must be acknowledged that not all abolitionists were part of Underground Railroad, but certainly none of them were against. Second, Gary Francione is not an abolitionist. It is definitely a promoter of veganism, but not an Abolitionist.
- Do not you think that some underground groups like the Animal Rights Militia are too extreme?
I think that anything that is made with the aim of Animal Liberation is too extremist. Also because it is a contradiction in terms. Whatever prevents the killing of animals and / or contrasting their oppressors is worthy of praise. Any action will help to realize this result was not in vain.
- But violence is not wrong anyway?
The use of force in itself and how it is used make a difference. A man who rapes a woman in a secluded valley and a good Samaritan who intervenes and strikes a blow on the head with the rapist, is an example of violence used for a greater good. In this case, to stop the rapist. Unfortunately we do not live in a perfect world and sometimes force is necessary to stop the violence. The reason why some individuals are indignant in the face of violence to save animals from the fact that, in their short-sighted mentality, the animals are somehow "Inferior", so that does not deserve to end their suffering should be used all possible means.
- thereby promoting violence?
No. Promotes Animal Liberation. Whatever the means to achieve it.
- What 's "welfare " animals?
assisenzialista The area of \u200b\u200bthe animal rights movement is composed of the most popular groups. For example, the Humane Society and many individuals like Peter Singer. In common with the abolitionists, there are many factors on which the whole animal rights movement. However, a factor totally unacceptable is the attitude of compromise with the exploiters.
- What makes a caring?
As organizations, their primary goal seems to be the accumulation of money, this premise have to expand their base of supporters. Also, are characterized by being carriers of the most ephemeral and fashionable in their particular version of the animal. This includes: puppies, kittens, organic eggs and farming, etc.. Nothing but sterile platitudes that will surely lead them to reach their goal to scrape together the funds, but does nothing to advance the real struggle for animal rights. In some ways, they are scam artists who sell something like an "animal light "to their adoring masses believe they are doing something useful. They are mostly snobs who viciously attack the real work of animal rights groups, groups of ordinary people, if you will. In fact, argue that we should continue to use animals, but more polite. Or in their words, "more human". Deceives the imagination and fuels the ignorance to say that it is possible to kill an animal "humanely." But their supporters to target these idiocies is drunk with enthusiasm. Use and exploit animals for any purpose is cruel and wrong. We can never really tell until this civilized barbarity socially approved will not stop forever.
- As an abolitionist are against pacifism?
No, not for himself. Each person has his own inclination, and apparently some of us are peaceful. We need, however, a deeper look into this issue, to begin with. Unfortunately, too often pacifism is a mask that hides the cowardice. Martin Luther King Jr. was a pacifist but he never stopped actively opposing the system. He never pulled back the face of danger, neither he nor his supporters. He did not stop until they killed him. Direct action is for ninety percent of the time non-violent, but it requires courage one hundred percent of the time.
- Ma gli incendi come tattica? È violenza.
Devo dissentire. La violenza non può essere inflitta ad un mucchio di mattoni, la proprietà può solo essere distrutta. E' questo aspetto della “violenza verso la proprietà” il dettaglio rilevante. La violenza può essere osservata solo nei confronti di un essere senziente. Creature con un interesse a rimanere libere dal dolore e dalla sofferenza. Se tiri un pugno al muro, hai esercitato “violenza” verso la tua mano, non verso il muro. Al muro non importa nulla del fatto che tu l'abbia colpito.
- Ma tu mangi le piante, anche loro sono senzienti!
No, non lo sono. Se lo fossero, porteresti a passeggio park in a carrot and not your dog. If the plants are sentient, then there would be no difference between kicking a pile of leaves and a human child. Clearly, if I really care about the plant life, go vegan and stop contributing to the exploitation of wild plant life and nature in general, the most valuable resources which will feed the "cattle". The same quantity of grain used to produce 2.5 kg of meat enough to feed a vegan for a month!
- If groups like the ALF are really doing the right thing, then why wear masks and disseminate their communiqués anonymously?
Although the actions of groups like the ALF are morally right and justifiable, their efforts are not recognized as legal by the state. Therefore, need to act anonymously.
- If you were an entrepreneur and someone destroy your property you feel?
certainly do not appreciate it. But I'm not an activist in the name of free enterprise. I am an activist for animal liberation.
- Do you really believe that animals of experiencing pain just like humans? More than
definitely feel pain. They experience terror, fear, love, etc.. The whole spectrum of emotions.
- How do you know? Why
empathize. If you do not you is clear that an animal is suffering, or lie to yourself confronted with evidence and reject the reality, or are you totally devoid of emotions and owned by a total disregard for the suffering of others.
- Do not you think that getting more people if it did not take an adversarial attitude, and so extreme?
Beyond what your attitude or position on a topic, you will always find those who agree with you and who is not. The animal liberation movement is far too full of "moderate activity". Our aim is to produce as Abolitionist real change, not to convince those who are morally blind. What happens to the animals Holocaust is a terrible and horrifying to overcome the worst nightmares. From our point of view, the answer to all this must be natural.
- Do you really think the change that is keen to see happen within the duration of your life?
not know the answer to this question. All I can say, without a shadow of a doubt that nothing will change until, as a society, we continue to accept the status quo.
- People do not have the right to eat what he wants?
No. They have the ability to eat what they want. True freedom consists not in doing what you want, but you have to. If your desires were indulged without brake, then society itself would become pure injustice.
- As a vegan where do you get all the protein and nutrients you need?
eat something vegan, and then look between five and six hours, then eat something else even vegan.
- It does not take a strong will to be vegan?
No, really, if you care anything about the animals, as we all say. You should also recognize that it is totally immoral use of their mangled bodies to suit your palate.
- So do not think that raising "free range" is a bit 'better than intensive farming?
No, it is not. This concept of "open" or "organic" is resolved, however, ultimately, with the death of the animals in order to use them. It's just a fairy tale, the idea that you can raise an animal and kill it "humanely." (I had already mentioned in a previous response)
- What about the "humane slaughter"?
That is an oxymoron. Maybe you can explain to you how to "humanely slaughtered" (kill) an animal.
- Why are you so attached to animals?
There are also a lot of people in need of help! I have no problem to help people. However, animals are exploited in a thousand times more cruel than any human group. Hence my "fixation".
- animal rights extremism is not it just another form of terrorism?
No. The animal rights activists are committed to saving innocent lives. The real terrorism is to harass and kill innocent creatures.
- vivisectors Many furriers and fear for their safety because of animal rights extremists. This is not harassing anyone and, therefore, terrorism? No.
money innocent lives cut short, they are the real terrorists. The ALF is the equivalent of National Defense for all beings. Those who torture, kill and exploit I animated humans are not the poor innocent are murderers who must be stopped.
Walter Bond is an animal liberation activist, abolitionist, who was arrested July 23, 2010 after being betrayed by his brother during an investigation carried out by the FBI and dall'ATF, accused of the fire company manufacturer of leather in Denver. Utah is also on trial for the burning of Tandy Leather Factory (another company of leather) and Triburon (a restaurant that serves foie gras). Working as a bricklayer in the construction of a slaughterhouse at the age of 19 years, Walter was approached to veganism and a life devoted to the fight against the culture of human exploitation and abuse toward other animals and nature. As a prisoner of war, Walter continues to stimulate and motivate other activists through his essays and his letters and the updates spread quickly through the Internet. Walter has recently accepted the role of press officer for the North American Animal Liberation (NAALPO). His philosophy and his plan of action can be summarized in these five simple words: "Animal Liberation, at any cost!"
