So let's eradicate all genocide before any of us protests about animal welfare, yeah? Ditto anything else less severe than Darfur I guess, like the surveillance state, gay rights, British jobs for British workers... after all, there are always more important issues to be dealing with.

The point is not the pampering but the suffering, and the continuation of practises that reinforce that suffering. There's enough room in the country for a few people to make this their issue, just as there is for a myriad of other issues all arguably less 'severe' than genocide in Darfur. Let's put aside whether their approach in this instance is right or wrong and just be glad there are people willing to speak out about
something. God knows there are enough people who don't speak out about
anything in society.
