There are some vegans doing more harm to the reputation of veganism than diet-gurus like Durianrider himself, and some of them are seemingly-respectable university professors (etc.).  A look at what being "anti-vivisection" really means (in 2016) forces us to reflect on the recent history of animal-rights extremism, and its long-term implications for the future of the vegan movement.
