Aaaaah, I hope others are seeing my mockery of criticism here: we should all be able top find ourselves somewhere on the list of 'hurting the movement'; if not, your dead
Anyone heard the Bill Cosby monologue 'they should just put them somewhere'?
the only animal ingredient in my food is cat hair
I couldn't find that monologue using that tag Pat. Your post was top of the google list though.

I'm going to quote myself now, since I already made the effort to carefully word something:
What if PETA do obtain their triple x domain, and make available the most obvious material for this context [ pictures of farm animal impregnation procedures]? I wouldn't be surprised if this issue has been discussed already in this forum, but it is certainly relevant, so:whalespace
Is it okay to use images of the abuse of animals to further one's ethical, political, or commercial interests?
At this point i must resist my tendency to get all objective, in case the student mind fails to make the disconnection.
Arguably the evidence of animal abuse should be made public for people to know the truth... to act!? Users of graphic evidence of animal abuse will argue that such exposure of the practices of abusive farmers does not cause the abuse. Surely photographing vegan organic farmers brushing rescued animals could be similarly classified? Hang on, am I still on topic... oh yes.
Seriously though, do AR organisations benefit from confronting people with evidence of animal abuse [sexual or otherwise]? Do members of such organisations derive pleasure from exposing people to real evidence of serious physical abuse of living creatures? Maybe one or two of them? Probably quite rare?
Would it be unreasonable to fear that certain individuals would tune in to animal rights sites in order to watch graphic images of animal abuse for satisfaction of primal instincts?
Which unpleasant possibility would be worse? Do either of them warrant abandoning the use of [photo]graphic documentation?
