Tom,
I don't think intelligence and common sense are particularly overrated
as survival traits, but certainly as breeding traits.
"Joiners" increase their chance of breeding success only if the
"joining" is not connected with reduced chance of survival. Not seeing
the consequences of ones actions can be terminal. :-)

That is not a very well thought out comment, Jostein. Those people
are "joiners" their chance of breeding is twice the general
populations. Intelligence and common sense are apparently highly
over rated as survival traits.

It's a bit puzzling, though, to hide behind the slogan. Why don't
they want their faces to be connected to the case they're fighting
for?
Concerning the conspicuously damaging effect on the animal welfare
(I dislike "rights" here) movement, I'm not at all sure if this is
staged by opponents to the movement. Unless they're pulling the
strings somewhere in the shadows. The foot-soldiers are just naïve
young adults with reduced ability to see the consequences of their
actions. In other words, prime candidates for darwininan
selection...:-)

Rather a broad brush you're painting with there, Jostein. It
doesn't follow
that someone who hides their face condones extreme action of that
type. The
extremists in the animal rights movement have had a very damaging
effect on
the mainstream. Suspiciously so, wouldn't you say?

That may be because today's animal activists are more prone
to use illegal and stupid forms of action. Like releasing
North-American minks from fur farms in Europe. Apparently,
wild European ferrets are not worthy of concern.
I'd vote to have animal activists replacing rats in the lab, too.
