Animal Rights Groups Attempting To Co-opt Religion
"Animal rights activists are using religious messages to recruit a segment of the millennial generation that has little doctrinal anchor in order to advance their vegetarian agenda," says Wes Jamison, an ordained Baptist minister and Palm Beach Atlantic University associate professor of communications.
Two major factors are driving animal rights groups' attempts to engage people of faith, Jamison says. The first is that people motivated by religion tend to give generously, which is important to the $400 million/year animal rights industry. The second reason is people motivated by religious zeal tend to have sustained intensity over time....

Perhaps. I think they're just manifesting a deep-seated spiritual desire to return to Paradise/Garen-of-Eden, where people and animals ate only plant fruits and life was far better. Problem is they don't want to do it God's way (through Christ), but like the murmuring Israelites in the wilderness, they long more for the good things in life rather than the ultimate source of such things (ALL things).

True. Yet unlike the Democrats, who merely lie about everything.
