Infighting in the Animal Advocacy Movement

Did you know that animal advocates around the world say that infighting sometimes causes them even more distress than animal exploitation? Infighting is significantly reducing the impact of the animal advocacy movement and wasting huge amounts of resources. It drives committed advocates out of the movement, pushes potential supporters away, and weakens the effectiveness of teams within animal advocacy organizations. It’s clear that infighting is a major obstacle to the success of the movement.

In these discussions, Melanie Joy explores the causes and consequences of infighting in the animal advocacy movement and shares principles and tools for preventing and managing the problem. She also discusses  her book, How to End Injustice Everywhere.
