| Abstract | 147 Murray Bookchin, Toward an Ecological Society (Montreal: Black Rose Books, 1980), pA8. 1 48 This study of the animal rights movement is by no means a complete one and undoubtedly suffers from a number of shortcomings that cannot be fully addressed here. Since conducting most of the original research four years ago, I have come to modify my views about the movement substantially in light of my ongoing interactions with individuals and groups working for animal liberation. Nevertheless, I feel this study can provide a initial basis for discussion. I sense a number of dangerous currents in certain parts of the animal rights movement that have not been considered in this work, most notably the fanatical single-mindedness, media pandering, moralism, managerial radicalism and money-grubbing of certain groups. I believe now that individuals working cooperatively and directly can achieve as much, if not more, than established organizations who are often seduced by a kind of bureaucratic epistemology and feel that those concerned with animal liberation might work to develop a deeper critique of the way in which technology, commodity capitalism and consumer society affect our relationship with nature. I remain optimistic, however, and welcome comments from others on these matters. For some of my own thoughts, see "Animal Enslavement: Are there any insights from earlier Abolitionists," Lomaka tsi #1 and "An Open Letter to the Animal Liberation Movement," Lomakatsi #2. |
