You make a good point. Big difference between reading about & actually interacting with animals. This is what I was really trying to say earlier. Hard to relate just reading or watching a video. Nothing like feeling their fur, petting, feeding, caring for & having some responsibility for another being.

PETA are terrorists. Their end goal is no domestic animals, and they believe my dog is better off dead. They ran an animal shelter in a southern state and stole dogs out of back yards and euthanized them.

I am plant based for health reasons, I use some leather, don’t care what kind of milk you drink, and while I don’t care if you eat meat, I think it should be raised and slaughtered humanely with an eye on how some animal agriculture affects the environment. (Not a fan of the giant ponds of pig poo maintained by some of the giant pig farms.)

If you never interact with animals, and they are only pictures in a book, it’s easy to justify poor treatment.

I like the ideas but there's a few issues. These are all kind of general platitudes and I'm not sure what the practical applications are. What does legislation look like that ends "misogynist anti-worker policy" or dangerous staffing across industries? What does direct action look like? Need more specifics.

The other question is why is this platform more effective than joining one of the many groups that are already engaged in promoting these ideas?

If they can carry a gun as an officer or enforce criminal and vehicle codes they are act 120 certified. Almost 40% of PA state police employees aren't certified. Because you need people to do all the other stuff. People are confusing sherrif employees with actual deputies. The person who processes your carry permit probably isn't a police officer. But the person who does has a gun and does prisoner transport absolutely is.
