We Should Stop Bringing More Domestic Animals

Veganism Is About Nonviolence. It Is About Not Engaging In Harm To Other Sentient Beings; To Oneself; And To The Environment Upon Which All Beings Depend For Life. In My View, The Animal Rights Movement Is, At Its Core, A Movement About Ending Violence To All Sentient Beings. It Is A Movement That Seeks Fundamental Justice For All. It Is An Emerging Peace Movement That Does Not Stop At The Arbitrary Line That Separates Humans From Nonhumans.

Being Vegan Is Not Just A Matter Of Being 'kind' To Animals. First And Foremost, It Is A Matter Of Being Just And Observing Our Moral Obligation To Not Treat Other Sentient Beings As Things.

I Certainly Believe That We Have A Moral Obligation To Care For The Dogs, Cats, And Other Nonhumans Whose Existence We Have Caused Or Facilitated As Part Of The Institution Of 'pet' Ownership. But I Maintain That We Ought To Abolish The Institution And Stop Causing Or Facilitating The Existence Of More 'companion' Animals.

It Costs Us So Little To Go Vegan. It Costs Animals So Much If We Don't.

If We Can Live And Prosper Without Killing, Why Would We Not Do So? I Do Not See Veganism As 'extreme' In Any Way. I See Killing For No Reason As Extreme In Every Way.
