The fact that most vegetarians also happen to be statists allows them to try to find peaceful solutions under government rather than violent ones.

I would hardly call governmental solutions 'peaceful'... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

...that said, suppose it were true that animals had legitimate claim to right of self-ownership. If that is the case, then even if we called government's current solutions 'peaceful', it wouldn't be any better than if government had resolved slavery by passing laws about how many hours masters could work their slaves, or what types of physical punishment were 'humane', etc.
I'm not exactly sure how this ties in with the issue of anarchy vs. statism wrt animal rights, but I guess I think calling government solutions 'peaceful' is kind of weak since either government is passing laws and regulations that are completely inappropriate (if animals don't have rights) or they are passing watered-down regulations that are treating animals like second-class citizens (which they can't be, if they have rights).
