This new website looks like it will be a very helpful teaching and inspirational resource.

It's encouraging to see the articulation you've given that clarifies specific concepts (in the glossary). I think that this sort of clarification can help someone like me to stop and re-assess the pathway, because I tend to find that anxiety is a constant companion in my attempts at animal advocacy. I left an Animal Rights group I belonged to because I was (to cut a long story short) 'more than distressed' by their extreme methods. I see now that they were practising "utilitarian" advocacy. I like a more "values-based" approach.

I have been constantly trying to 'centre' my own advocacy attempts around an intuitive version of 'critical thinking' and 'creative rigor', without actually having an educational background in how an awareness of such terms can really help. It's helpful to see "critical thinking" articulated.
