Original research about welfare

[edit]

From all good sourcing on the article Newkirk is a rights activist, the claims on animal welfare are either WP:OR or poorly sourced.

"Although PETA takes a gradualist approach to improving animal welfare, Newkirk remains committed to ending animal use and the idea that, as PETA's slogan says, "animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment". This is cited to this source . The source itself says "From the start, peta was more radical than any of the established animal-welfare organizations". [1], it doesn't say "PETA takes a gradualist approach to improving animal welfare". This is obviously original research.

The next line reads "Some animal rights abolitionists, most notably Gary Francione, have criticized PETA, calling it and other groups the new welfarists". This is a minority position. Gary L. Francione's abolition views are not shared by the majority. His book is listed as a source but no page number is given. If this claim is to be added a stronger independent source should be found. I suggest that this content should be removed. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
