When I was a child, my mother went to a fortune teller and she was told one of her children will go to prison. I was horrified that it would me. I feared for what heinous crime it was that I will commit and tried many times unsuccessfully to push the thought away.
Then I became vegan. I no longer believe in fortune tellers. But even if I still do, I won't be so afraid anymore. Many animal rights activits are sent to prison for various reasons: liberating animals, protesting, filming undercover videos, all of which are illegal because it means they have to cross property lines and give false identities and break in commercial establishments.
The world we live in considers killing animals legal but rescuing them illegal. It considers torturing animals a business but capturing this on film terrorism. Morality and legality- they are mutually exclusive concepts. I am clear about which side I am on. What about you?
