there’s a big difference between animal rights groups and animals welfare groups.
Oh god yes, most animal rights groups are absolutely insane.
not to mention that they don’t actively help animals or at least animals beyond an individual aspect.
For example: I’m helping with research within a national park. In the park there are rangers that are attempting to control and reduce the kangaroo population (because it is out of hand. They are over-populating). So unfortunately these animals need to be darted and euthanised. But decreasing the population it reduces lack of resources and helps the ecosystem of the park.
A bunch of animal rights activists however have been out setting the captured kangaroos free or are stopping rangers from darting them. These kangaroos then go out and over-graze, breed and over-populate. They’re actively damaging the ecosystem and hurting other animal species to save a few individual kangaroos.
