Dear Francione and Followers,
I would like to share with you my idea for advancing your dedicated cause of spreading awareness and converting animal protein eaters into compassionate vegans. Although I am not the most formally-..educated person in the room, I can offer a viewpoint in layman’s terms. I propose you focus your efforts into “Real” time. Many folks I speak with outside of the vegan groups, who show interest and want to change their diets from an animal protein base to vegetarian or vegan diet, have a few issues, always the same, that are presented to me.
#1. Expense: because vegans and vegetarians are not the majority as of yet, retailers and food-producing companies use this as an excuse as it is more expensive to produce..
#2. Inconvenience: in a fast-paced “on the go” lifestyle, it is not convenient to make the correct choices.
The generations before us have made these choices on our behalf based on corporate greed, implementing the grossest fast-food chains we could possibly think of; it all ties together with keeping the “meat-..murdering” mentalities of such industries growing and going.
My proposal is this: your efforts should be mainstreamed to make change where your best abilities and interests lie in this movement. I would like you to consider starting a “Vegan/..Vegetarian Fast Food” chain (any and all profits could be used to further educate). In my opinion, that would be the most effective and fastest way to reach people. Please consider this seriously, as I feel this would make a real difference, instead of wasting precious time and energy making statements that hurt others in this movement. Although I agree that everyone becoming vegan in the long run would solve most of the inhumane issues that are rampant in society, it is not going to happen overnight, and in the mean time billions upon billions of animals are being tortured and slaughtered in the most horrific ways anyone could imagine. MDA has its place in this movement forefront at this time to save what you cannot. Why on earth would you condemn this if you really cared for the animals? Or, is it you are only concerned for your health? Please put egos aside and respect all activists and their compassionate efforts to stop the insanity that I have witnessed all my life. I personally am not willing to see one more animal die if I can help it by any means necessary, the same as I would do for a child. It is understandable that a Law Professor has a position to protect in society and to show cooperation to the FBI, but leave it at that, don’t continue to hurt others that deserve your respect and compassion. Please be the pacifist you claim to be.
Sincerely,
Dominique Landis

Born in San Francisco, her early exposure to activism began when she and her mother lived with a friend who cared for many rescues, including a Capuchin monkey. Since that time, Dominique has been a guardian for many animals and involved with all types of rescues. She has raised a family as a single parent, working in casinos as a blackjack dealer while attending classes at a local community college and eventually earning a Paralegal Certificate. With the ideal that she could make a difference, Dominique worked for a few years in a D.A.’s office until she came face to face with the massive corruption of the judicial system. She is now a licensed Massage Therapist and Esthetician who advocates for all sentient beings. Her sincere belief is that because of the communication and networking tools that we now have at our disposal there will be no stopping this movement.
