    When animal advocates describe animals as voiceless, even when it is meant simply as a metaphor, it gives power to those who want to view animals as “mindless objects.” In the long run, activists will help animals more if we treat them as active participants in their own liberation—as the expressive subjects animal advocates know them to be—remembering that resistance takes many forms, some of which may be hard to recognize from an able-bodied human perspective.

      Yes, it was metaphorical - as in, voices that omniscum have taken away - going forward, I think more suitable words should be "...We speak for those who have been violently silenced"
