From what I've heard, he was very racist throughout his life.

As your link show it clearly say that a lot of different groups are engaged in act of violence in order to change the things.
Many of these groups have really nothing to do with religion or spirituality.
My spiritual teacher which has nothing to do with religion gave Prout or the way to change this economical-political-environement chaos into peace and welfare for all and this is not violence.
He predicted that this state of moral bankruptcy if allow to continue will inevitably lead to violence as we can see these days however he does not promote violence on the contrary he always hope that people engaged in criminal activity will change so there wan't be any more reason for anyone to engage in violence.

Sorry, are you claiming that there isn't an extensive history of spirituality within the animal rights movements and environmental activists?
