Thank you, Debby Rubenstein, for speaking up and taking action for the suffering, voiceless, innocent ones. Throughout the ages, the truthbearers have met with ridicule and condemnation: Socrates was executed; Jesus was crucified; and Rev/Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, but their legacy has lived on. Any one of them could have saved himself by acquiescing to their opposers; they could have just quietly submitted. But they refused to give in because they understood the value of truth and the value of breaking through the walls of ignorance and injustice.
And so do the animal rights advocates on this page and the world over–we are fighting a war against ignorance, torture, slavery, brutality, and the slaughter of innocents for what is right; truth supports our cause, passion emboldens our hearts. In the 1800′s, the slavery abolitionists fought the same type of fight against those who argued that blacks were not human.
The abolitionists could not be stopped; they fought for truth and justice with passion; they could see the future, the end of slavery; they KNEW that they would win, and they wouldn’t give up–you can hear their passion and their resolve in their abolitionist hymn, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic:
“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.”
The same passion and resolve can be heard from Rev/Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who, in one of his speeches said, “I have BEEN to the mountaintop,” because he KNEW WITH CERTAINTY that his fight for justice would be won.
Today, all over the world, fighters for the animals have “seen the glory” of a day when all earth’s creatures will live in harmony, and to that end they will tirelessly and without let-up trudge on, “trampling out the vintage” in the storehouses and slaughterhouses where ignorance, apathy, torture, enslavement, cruelty, and murder reside. A “fateful lightning” has been “loosed” among passionately merciful warriors worldwide, and they will NOT let up on wielding the “terrible swift sword” of truth. Their “truth is marching on.”

“It is the fate of every truth to be an object of ridicule when it is first acclaimed. It was once considered foolish to suppose that black men were really human beings and ought to be treated as such. What was once foolish has now become a recognized truth. Today it is considered as exaggeration to proclaim constant respect for every form of life as being the serious demand of a rational ethic. But the time is coming when people will be amazed that the human race existed so long before it recognized that thoughtless injury to life is incompatible with real ethics. Ethics is in its unqualified form extended responsibility to everything that has life.” Albert Schweitzer
When many said that blacks were not humans, slavery abolitionists were ridiculed — those such as my ancestors, working within the Underground Railroad were threatened and condemned for harboring black slaves and helping them escape–then slavery was abolished; animal rights activists are ridiculed and harrassed today for speaking out for and seeking freedom for non-human animals…and today, with the advances in technology, advances such as camera phones and YouTube, great strides are being made in the animal rights arena because now the truth can be shown to the world–no more are the vicious cruelties of the slaughterhouses hidden….the world knows…and humans are evolving. Just as the injustice of slavery was abolished, so too will the atrocities of animal torture and brutality be abolished…..if I were a livestock farmer, I’d start looking into soybeans
