It's not about absolutely saying that animals are people, but at least not putting them in light that makes them seem so diminished. I really, really find it hard to get the message that "animals are worty of respect because they're like human children". It took me that you wrote it that way here for me to feel less unsure about the meaning. When I read the post-its, it reads the opposite as what you tell me. :/ That at most they're as intelligent as little kids, which also means that they don't get the bigger picture of what's going on either, and so that abusing them isn't too terrible actually. I don't think it takes to be an animal activist to get the message the way I got it.
