80- Do we need to liberate humans to liberate animals?

Author Zane McNeill argues that the animal rights movement isn't doing enough to support the liberation of marginalised workers & is fact complicit with the continued oppression of vulnerable persons. So do we need to truly liberate humans in order to liberate animals? Would a single unified movement be more efective? Or are there differences between human & animal liberation that means they need different approaches? Anthony & Julie have their thoughts provoked by this one.

Here's the article in question...
