6. Only if our society can get past rampant selfishness and greed

right now, the only way you can convince others to care about the welfare of non-human species is to frame it in such a way that the mistreatment of animals is tied to their own welfare (mad cow, antibiotic use, people who beat pets become serial killers, etc.). I see compassion ridiculed regularly on these boards. I'm glad that I finally have a forum to go to that's somewhat "safe" for a bleeding heart like myself!
