The phrase "left wing" scarcely means anything anymore. If you can
demonstrate some sort of correlation between animal rights views and
other views that are generally regarded as "left wing", well, great,
I'll try hard to stay awake and pretend I care.
Alas, I cannot aspire to the level of sanity that the OP exhibits, it
is just not the way I am wired up. I suppose there is nothing for it
but to deny my right to free speech, for the sake of fighting fascism.
