The statistics are very hopeful. They show a definite shift in thinking.
Clearly the various animal rights groups and the documentaries like Blackfish have had an impact on people's thinking. The more aware they are the more they care. That means it is worth it to sign petitions and support causes.
I think in our lifetime we will see some major changes. First will be no more animals in circuses and shows. I think next will be no more testing of cosmetics on animals. Some parts of the world have already moved in this direction.
I think we can hope for a change in the standards for farm animals. This will need a lot of work and a lot of pressure on the food industry, but change can happen.
I want to live long enough to look back in horror at the things we did, from a world where we no longer do them.
