This powerful image reminds us that silence protects the oppressor, not the victim. Animal rights are not optional, and staying quiet in the face of suffering only fuels the system of exploitation. Whether it’s factory farming, vivisection, trophy hunting, or habitat destruction, every injustice against animals demands a voice. As Anthony Douglas Williams writes, “It is better to be outspoken than unspoken.” Let’s stop worrying about being too loud or too radical. Speak the truth. Shake the silence. Be the voice for those who cannot speak. Because the cost of our silence is measured in lives lost and pain prolonged. For the animals, for justice, for the future, speak up. Always.
