"On Animals"

Why do some people and not others become involved in social movements?
Some people do not get involved in social movements because they do not believe strongly enough to take action. Others feel even if everyone gets involved the problem will not be resolved. If enough people stand up for cause then all will fallow. This happened in Ukraine “The Orange Revolution” in 2004 the presidential elections were rigged and a Russian communist was suppose to come to power. But Ukrainians came together and started a revolution, everyone was part of it, from children to great grandparents. The movement was able to stop this abuse of power and Ukraine got the president that they wanted. I believe if a great cause is brought up everyone will stand behind it to make a change.

Animal rights are growing in America, people are starting to look at animals as part of a family, some even live property and money for their pets, on their will. Billions of animals are still slaughtered each year. All who depend on using and killing animals such as researchers and food industry are “fighting back against what they call overblown concerns about animal rights.” Last year in Ohio, voters overwhelmingly approved laws that prevent animal cruelty applying to the agriculture industry.
