Quote by Ingrid Newkirk

Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us, as a civilized society, to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.

Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend

Summary

The quote calls upon society to recognize the cruelty of these practices and take a stand to end them, as it is the responsibility of a civilized society to advocate for justice and protection for all beings.

If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.
