Animal welfare, a legal system in which the animal’s well-being is priority except in the case of human personal interest. For example, farrowing crates, separating calves from cows, genetic manipulation in favour of higher production, and slaughtering of the animal.

Animal rights, like welfare except the well-being of the animal is absolute priority regardless of human personal interest. Any breach would be for the sake of the animal’s best well-being, such as anaesthetised castration, shearing of companion sheep, and veterinary treatment.

The only people who believe animal welfare is better for the animals are the people who either a) don’t completely understand animal rights, or b) benefit from the animal welfare system.

Before I left Dolezal, I remembered that my editors had told me to make sure the photographer got a few pictures of us together. We were both sitting at the kitchen table, which provided an ideal photo opportunity. The natural light from the sliding door by the kitchen was great for photography, but with our current seating arrangement, that light was falling on me and leaving her in the shadow. It is standard practice to have the interviewee sit in the best light, so I asked her to switch seats. The photographer thanked me for the suggestion, and I stood to allow Dolezal to take the chair I had been in. Dolezal looked at me with a smirk and said accusingly: “Then you’ll look darker and I’ll look lighter, because the light’s on me. I get it.” I realized that like all other black people who had challenged Dolezal, I had been written off as a bitter, petty black woman. She was concerned that the wrong lighting would make her look white. She could not see that there was no amount of lighting that would make her look whiter than that interaction had. Perhaps that itself was the secret to the power of the Dolezal phenomenon—the overwhelming whiteness of it all.
