"I am thinking of the many who are still holding their sense of mercy in
check for fear of social disapproval. I kept mine in check for too long. And
each time I let it out, I felt the pressure to conform – true enough. What
helped me? It was seeing others speak out, be ridiculed, and have the
courage and inner certainty to speak out again and again. If we can be
desensitized to animals’ pain, then we can also desensitize ourselves to
being ridiculed and pressured.”
