ACTIVISM: ACT FIRST
Will you eat a friend?
Will you wear a friend's skin?
Will you bully a friend?
These questions might sound weird and quirky. Based on one online poll, one of the most
effective and persuasive slogan of animal protection is: DO NOT EAT YOUR FRIEND.
Though there is a prerequisite for this slogan to be effective, animals should be considered
as your friend. (Come on, who don't?)
Apart from media penetration, activism in animal protection goes a little bit further.
For many of the participants, animal protections has became a lifestyle, something they carry out through
their daily lives. On PETA's official website, there is a tab "living" which will direct readers to a blog
section, filled with mouth-watering vegan recipes or organic linen introductions. There are even posts on wikihow
about "How to become an animal activist step by step."
Also, for those activists who form as a group in protest campaign or online advertising, their relationship
are tighter than purely co-workers. They are comrades. They are friends. They are families.
They gather, party, and have fun during holiday and festivals.
In animal protection, activism has became something substantial. It changes people's lives in real scenario in
a healthier and more positive way. It is not something to be said. It is something to be performed and to be taken into actions.
