Holocaust survivor Alex Hershaft has been asked why he chose animals rights as his cause when there are victimized and underserved groups of people.
"Why animals...because that's the root...the most universally accepted form of oppression.
And...it's not about the animals. It's about us.
It's about who we are, how we treat the least defensible, the most oppressed, the weakest in our society. What does it say about us?"
