Comment Policy
The purpose of Advocacy for Animals is to promote enlightened concern for animal welfare and the environment. We intend the comment areas of our site to provide a forum in which readers can discuss these issues and share information and experiences in an atmosphere of civility and mutual respect.
While we welcome comments from all points of view, including those that are critical of the animal-rights and environmental movements, we encourage readers who wish to make criticisms to address themselves to specific points in the relevant article or post and to provide supporting argument where possible.
Repeated critical comments that appear to be intended to disrupt serious discussion or to silence other readers will not be published. Nor will, for obvious reasons, comments that contain any of the following:
- Extreme ad hominem (personal) attacks
- Obscenity
- Racist, sexist, or other offensive language
- Spam or other commercial self-promotion
