50 years of Animal Liberation
Since the contemporary Animal Rights movement began in the mid 70’s Lynda has seen many positive changes toward humans’ treatment of animals. Back then, the word VEGAN had not even been coined. This movement began with a whisper and is now roaring throughout the world. As well it should given the trillions of animals who suffer hideous cruelties for profit. We are up against billion dollar propaganda animal abuser organisations that spend millions indoctrinating the public as to “why” they need to consume and wear animal products and “why” they need to test on animals and “why” rodeos are permitted. But there is no turning back the growing tide of awareness and societal change.
