Animal Rights Tired of being a vegan drone?

I've been edited! " likely illegal content removed" And all I try to do is live an authentic life ... 
A few of my thoughts on this:
Vegans make up a very small percentage of the population, and it's not really growing much as a lot of people find it difficult to stay vegan for very long. The concept of animal rights seems incredibly foreign to almost everyone except vegans.
The people behind the email may be able to save a few animals, but the likely result of some of the methods hinted at would be practically universal condemnation. A PR catastrophe that would set back the movement years.
What is needed is increasing the vegan percentage of the population, and increasing the support for animal-friendly practices and policies in general. It's a slow and boring process. It involves working to provide support networks, better labeling of food and other products, and keeping the wider case for animals in the public consciousness over time. It could mean participating in Internet forums like VV. It could mean being a member of a "boring" organisation like the Vegan Society. It could mean posting cat videos on FB etc.

Heroes or Zeros? I never can decide ... The US Marine style of wording puts me off ... Sometimes the best thing is to just let your money do the talking.
So what are they going to do?
Call themselves a militia and take over a slaughterhouse, to declare their version of the constitution?
... ok, I have looked at the FB group, so more likely take over some university institute.
Terrorism #101 ... if you want to be taken seriously, you should at least bring some posters with arabic letters...

The trouble with being militant is that you only end up attracting more militants.
And since militants are a small percentage of an already small group, the rate of attrition is bound to be faster than the recruiting rate.

I would say the trouble with being militant is ... that the government is likely much better at it.

The government's reaction aside, being militant is not the best way to promote a cause, if your objective is widespread acceptance.
