爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

白话

博克连续刊登照片,展示获取鹭羽的可怕代价:母鸟被猎杀,雏鸟饿死。照片铁证如山,进口商不敢反驳,只能沉默。奥杜邦协会、爱鸟人士和有人道情怀的女性纷纷来信支持。但博克清楚,这些少数人的声援解决不了问题,真正的答案在更广大的美国女性群体那里——而她们毫无反应。这说明:光靠曝光和少数热心人不够,得让沉默的大多数真正在意,改变才会发生。

上下文

博克在杂志上刊登照片揭露鹭羽贸易的残忍,引来支持信,但多数消费者仍无动于衷。

你支持某个议题时,是只和同温层发声,还是想办法触动沉默的大多数?
