perspective based on cultural, political, and economic contexts for comparison could be helpful in the development of further ecologically informed critical approaches. Finally, this need for a diversity of voices, human and nonhuman is imperative in the context of green democratic project.
This is an area that has come under increasing interests due to the pressing ecological and environmental issues of our times.
6.2 Limitations
Some concluding remarks pertain to the acknowledgement of two limitations encountered during the research for this thesis and one additional consideration.
First, schedule limitations. Due to time constrains and the qualitative nature of this research project, the amount of observed groups and activists interviewed was subject to the ability of the researcher to attend the many different events being organized by animal advocacy groups, and to the availability or willingness of activists to engage in conversation or accept interviews. The greater obstacle on this later aspect was the busy schedule of some animal advocacy groups who could not provide an earlier interview date, or did not reply to e-mail requests.
Second, language limitations. Although the researcher has a decent command of Mandarin Chinese, the interaction with activists was at times difficult due to language differences and the researcher’s lack of more specialized vocabulary in the context of legal or philosophical discussions. Conversely, while the majority of people encountered throughout this research presented some degree of English proficiency, the factor of miscommunication or misunderstanding could not be entirely avoided. Such aspects might affect the accuracy of observations, translation, and notes taken during field work or interviews.
Last, an additional consideration refers to research bias. Depending on the epistemological inclinations of the reader, this might or might not constitute an actual limitation. Nevertheless, due

to the engaged nature of the employed framework and particular topic of this thesis, it is important to acknowledge that the researcher has been a committed vegetarian due to environmental and animal ethics reasons for over a decade. It was this original interest in animals and casual participation in the movement that led to the central theme this project: “Can the nonhuman speak?”
I have argued that yes it can, we are learning to listen.
