“People instinctively bully people who have views they don’t agree with”
I think you’re right.
It’s hard not to react negatively and I keep trying, failing at times. I think overall, more discussion about animal rights, even if some of it is negative, is better in the long run than less discussion about animal rights.

And don’t be discouraged by negative comments you may get by doing this. People instinctively bully people who have views they don’t agree with. The important thing is that the links are there. The people sympathetic to these links may tend to be more contemplative and less vocal therefore you may here less from them. At the very least it’s a good way to start a healthy debate if your inclined.

I’m glad you wrote an article about this. I have been dropping links to video’s (usually http://meat.org) for a few months now. It only takes about 15min of my day and everyday I can definitely say I have done something (other than abstain from animal products) for the cause. I think this activity, if embraced by all advocates, may be one of the most important things the movement can do as a whole. When I drop these links I wonder why it seems like I am the only one doing it. Everyone should be doing it. It’s easy, convenient and effective.

Tips:
– Go to google blog search.
– Enter in a phrase that will list blogs that may be relevant to your comment: “eat meat”, “animal rights”, “environmentalism”, etc…
– The results will appear. Subscribe to the rss feed for these results. Now you should be able to conveniently open about 10 blogs at a time with the latest search results for these phrases
– Start reading the blogs and dropping your comments/links.
– Repeat the next day

If you aren’t used to RSS feeds I apologize if that was a little terse. If you play around with this technique you will eventually get it.

I hope this idea spreads. I truly believe it is effect
