96. You must have just fallen off the turnip truck

Animal liberation and hunting are mutually exclusive. If you advocate one you are against the other. They clearly say they want to use legislation to reach their goals. Those goals are "animal rights" and prevention of animal suffering. They classify hunting, fishing, wearing, and eating animals as animal suffering and a violation of animal rights.

The organization that advocates advancing "animal rights" through legislation calls hunting, fishing, and eating meat a violation of animal rights.

Lets say I'm for "Mushroom rights". Then I tell you that I think eating mushrooms violates "mushroom rights". Then I say I advocate legislation to protect
"mushroom rights". I'm advocating restricting the eating of mushrooms.
