Another reason why the news is so depressing

It’s not just the fact that animals are being endlessly killed and brutalized or, worse, that animal use is hiding more and more behind allegedly less inhumane treatment. One of the more depressing, frustrating things about reading animal news feeds anymore–and I still do it every day, even though I don’t post as frequently lately–is how everything simply misses the point. This doesn’t mean that we should throw up our hands and quit. The fact that animals are featured in the news more than ever is an opportunity for rights advocates to speak up more frequently and raise the level of discussion.
