Roland’s tweetios: How many conservatives are animal rights supporters?
There’s Actually A Conservative Who Supports Animal Rights!
- Scully
Most people on the Left are not into Animal Rights.
But those who are greatly outnumber Conservatives who support Animal Rights.
I am only familiar with one Conservative political figure in the entire country who supports Animal Rights: Matthew Scully. Matthew Scully is not even a politician in his own right, but was a speechwriter for George W Bush. And Scully’s position on Animal Rights seems an extension of his opposition to abortion. I don’t know if Scully is vegan, but for the sake of argument I will assume he is.
So we have one vegan Conservative politician. In the entire country!
One.
The Left can boast it’s most prominent leader: Angela Davis. Former Congressman and twice presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is also vegan, as are hundreds of local and state Democratic officials and thousands of activists.
Animal Rights is squarely on their political agendas.
On the Right? Not so much.
Oh, except for Matthew Scully.
The one Conservative who supports Animal Rights.
