En los últimos años el movimiento por la Liberación Animal pasó por muchos baches y desafíos. Todo esto supuso el cambio total del movimiento.
De ser un movimiento radical de base, que siempre se había opuesto abiertamente a las grandes asociaciones y medios de comunicación, empezó poco a poco en convertirse en lo que antes habían criticado. El movimiento se obsesionó ciegamente con la “opinión publica” y modificó los contenidos para ajustarse al estándar de los medios y así trabajar codo con codo con periodistas y grupos institucionalizados enfocando la lucha de manera “profesional” en vez de decir y conseguir lo que realmente se quería.
El cambio forma parte de toda lucha, pero lo que no podemos aceptar es el hecho de que la prioridad se convierta en conseguir la aceptación del gran público a toda costa, ya que aspectos fundamentales como la solidaridad hacia lxs presxs politicxs y el apoyo a la acción directa quedarían repentinamente ignorados.
No podemos aceptar que este movimiento niegue tan a menudo sus raíces y orígenes.
