Taking action - this is so hard for so many people. It's where so many people stall. By the way, you may appreciate the Truth Summit I'm putting together, June 12-23. 20 free interviews with 20 VERY DIFFERENT truth tellers who have taken action in many different ways. Just about all of them note how few people take action - somehow there is a block in people. I'm just posted on the summit. There is also a website: https://elsaiselsa.substack.com/p/big-announcement-truth-summit-june-12-23-2023

Wayne, this was one of the best posts I've ever read about animal liberation. Thank you.

My hope is that in the future more people will start to understand what animals go through, suffering in captivity and despair and will realize that compassion is key.

I want so badly for so many people to read this. I shared, but it's not enough. This is book material, or at least I hope! I have to say, one thing that both trials/acquittals have in common is YOU (as an attorney). I've watched your in action. I know that co-counsel has been excellent. But maybe others are like me and wonder what the outcome would be for us if we didn't have you as our defense attorney. I know that's what the summit in Denver was about so it's only a matter of time before there's a small army of highly qualified animal rights litigators. But they will not be you - your personal experience and compassion and incredibly sharp mental abilities make you a very effective presenter and persuader. You emanate trustworthiness because you've been in the trenches, and you speak the truth. People are pretty good a detecting bullshit and are fed up with corporate and government collusion and overreach. I'm still waiting to see what happens when you are not there to defend. Just being honest. It's a fear I personally grapple with. That and the Empire striking back, because we know they have and will. But I hear you loud and clear. You are not Atlas - it's not fair to ask you to be. The animals need more of us to take bigger risks.

As usual, great commentary. One line I quibble with is:

'Ordinary people, drawn randomly from the public, are much better decision-makers than elected officials or judges. They are immune from the regulatory capture and inertia that generally blocks progress on animal rights. '

Probably you meant:

'Ordinary people, drawn randomly from the public, are much better decision-makers [on animal rights] than elected officials or judges. They are immune from the regulatory capture and inertia that generally blocks progress on animal rights.'
