Vegans and Non-Vegan Arguments

I think that we have to challenge our viewpoints and that applies to vegans challenging ourselves with non-vegan arguments. As activists can we look at the opposing view of the way that we advocate and the methods in which we you know activist can we challenge those? I like the idea of challenge I think it's devil's advocate but they devil's advocate with one's preconceived notions or with one's beliefs. It's absolutely crucial that we don't become dogmatic in the sense of that we shut off from trying to listen  it's almost dogmatism is almost an absence of empathy, he says.
