“During the slavery period in America it must have been an extremely frustrating time for abolitionists. They knew they were fighting for what was good, decent and right, and yet they had mountains of ignorance to climb and wide rivers of apathy to ford in order to bring any real change … the task must have seemed impossible … Well, the animal rights movement today is facing exactly the same obstacles — mountains of ignorance just as high and rivers of apathy just as wide … And yet those of us fighting for the rights of our animal brothers & sisters persist anyway … And what keeps us going is the constant reminder that that we know that what we are doing is Right. Just like those anti-slavery abolitionists who didn’t give up despite formidable opposition, we too would rather fight our entire lives for what is Right — knowing that it simply MUST come to pass one day; even if we never personally blessed to see it come to fruition.” ~ inspired by Jacqueline Hager-Bodnar
