I think there’s a goal to reduce harm and abolish factory farming and that’s a different goal then turning everyone vegan. I think it helps people to also hear they’re personally not the enemy and they’re kinda unwilling consumers of factory farms rather than them being the ones actively commiting atrocities personally. In this sense a goal of ending factory farming (as opposed to turning everyone vegan) does not seem radical at all and most people support this goal very easily even though they eat meat.
Sorry I was imprecise when I said “ending factory farming”, I should have said “ending the consumption of all animal products/meat”, which I do think is what most orgs and org leaders would ultimately want, and would be seen as radical.
I agree that ending factory farming, if we mean to replace it with smaller very high welfare farming, is more agreeable, although again I doubt most people would support it if they knew the amount of meat they could consume and the accompanying price tag.
