In the late eighties/early nineties animal rights was my life. Or at least I thought it was. At that time I was involved with certain individuals who had, shall I say, slightly more radical ideas on how to address the matters.
I began to question my true commitment to the cause. Was I less of a 'believer' than these people because I was unwilling to take that extra step? I did not know what to think back then, I did not have the attitude I now have towards property and such. Then I probably was heading towards greedhead-dom.
Looking back I think I was right to pull out when I did and move to more peaceful campaigns. This is not meant to belittle those that carried on and took a different route, you understand. I still respect the cause, but can I respect the the methods? I still do not really know.
All I hope now is that the goal of Barry's life (and now his death) will be recognised and achieved.
Ride On!!
