Thank you Alan
February 10, 2010
Alan got a call this morning
from someone angry about our "Fur is Green"
campaign. As we've seen before,
many people can see another perspective if we have a chance to speak
with them. He probably still won't wear fur (he's a vegan), but he
now sees that this is a more complex issue than he thought -- and that
we're not the devil incarnate!
Dear Alan, Thank you for the very enlightening conversation. I think
I'll vote for you rather than our current leader, even though the PM is
very pro-fur--you're more reasonable! I see what you're saying, based on
what Peter Singer said--it seems there's some scapegoating of the
furriers going on, compared to the animal factory industry. Thank you
for apprising me of that. I'm going to read Second Nature: The Animal
Rights Controversy. Here's the "Guaranteed Livable Income" website and
video:
