Misguided vegan activist says protesters who target meat-eaters and farmers ‘don’t really understand animal rights’

Mr. Blewett has urged militant protesters to 'work on yourself first by understanding what animal rights are... What you're seeing now aren't animal rights activists.

Animal rights is recognising animals have the same moral rights as any other living being’…
