Where you STAND … (05/20/17)

Please take a moment to fill in the blank:

Today I will choose to __________ violence against animals.
(A) inflict
(B) support or excuse
(C) reject
(D) refuse to inflict
(E) fight to end

Hint: C is a morally acceptable answer, and yet the only way to non-hypocritcially answer C is to enliven D — and the only way to meaningfully enliven D is to become E.

Thanks in advance for doing so.
