Sure, I understand that most anarchists have no interest in animal rights. 
One of the biggest anarchist meat-eaters I know--who is up there in Carp's 
league in the department of killing and eating strange creatures--is asleep 
right now on my couch.

But there are good anarchist reasons why some anarchists are also interested 
in animal rights. The anarchist theories about power and domination are very 
related to animal rights arguments.
