本文报告了研究美国动物权利运动积极追随者特征的原创研究。典型的受访者是白人受过高等教育的城市职业妇女，年龄约为30岁，收入中位数为33 000美元（1989年）。大多数活动家认为自己是民主党人或独立人士，并有温和到自由的政治观点。他们常常对科学持怀疑态度，不区分基础科学和应用科学，也不区分公共动物研究和私人动物研究。研究表明，动物权利行动主义在一定程度上是关于科学和技术变革的平等主义社会和政治观点的象征性表现。
This article reports original research examining characteristics of the active followers of the American animal rights movement. Typical respondents were Caucasian highly educated urban professional women approximately thirty years old with a median income of $33,000 (1989). Most activists think of themselves as Democrats or as Independents, and have moderate to liberal political views. They were often suspicious of science and made no distinctions between basic and applied science or public versus private animal-based research. The research suggests that animal rights activism is in part a symbolic manifestation of egalitarian social and political views concerning scientific and technological change.
