Leader. What is it that makes decent ladies of the shires line up outside Huntingdon Life Sciences
and chant along with the low-lifers of the Animal Liberation Front, or kindly suburban folk leave
out food scraps for mangy, verminous foxes, and any rats which might like to take advantage too?
Clearly, not all the above are motivated by a dislike of humanity, but there is a discernible
streak of self-hate in the changing attitudes of Western people towards animals.
