I tend to agree. Including the marches and protests.. I think it's better to have a discussion with people. But.. I understand why some people do it and I can appreciate it on some levels.
I'm curious about the politically influential and creative ways you refer to. Sounds interesting!

Very true, learning how to dialogue with people is a skill we can't ignore any longer.
As far as politics goes, I have been collaborating with the City administration in Montreal on various animal rights issues, among which banning the horse-drawn carriages with my anti-caleche campaign. It will finally happen after 8 years of advocating for a ban. Dec. 31st 2019 is the end of this abusive industry..
This campaign has taken much of my time and I'm happy I can now dedicate it to creating educational videos, e-books for children, and a documentary about the carriage industry.
In 2019 I'll be running as a candidate for the Animal Protection Party at the Federal Elections. We have no chance of winning due to the first-past the post electoral system, but it helps to get the platform out there and perhaps in the near future when we finally have a proportional system, the animals will have their say through us in the Canadian Parliament.
We need to change the current pro-meat/dairy laws and introduce animal rights laws.
Yes, animals should vote :) in their own ways of course!!
