Rod Coronado immediately comes to mind. There are many people out there who feel just as passionate about the welfare human animals as they do about non-human ones. I think one thing to remember is that people are more than just one thing; animal activists are rarely just animal activists. Most of them see the connection between the earth, the animals, ourselves and everything in between and work to strengthen that connection. Granted, I'm not talking about PETA types here specifically, I have no truck with them. But others who often choose not to affiliate with specific organizations are usually the ones to transcend the "animal activist only" label.

And... I'm done. Sorry to hijack the thread, just had to put my two cents in!
