Who I've Been Is Not As Important

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.

The Distinction Between Meat And Other Animal Products Is Total Nonsense. Vegetarianism Is A Morally Incoherent Position. If You Regard Animals As Members Of The Moral Community, You Really Don’t Have A Choice But To Go Vegan.

Veganism Is Not About Giving Anything Up Or Losing Anything; It Is About Gaining The Peace Within Yourself That Comes From Embracing Nonviolence And Refusing To Participate In The Exploitation Of The Vulnerable

Veganism Is An Act Of Nonviolent Defiance. It Is Our Statement That We Reject The Notion That Animals Are Things And That We Regard Sentient Nonhumans As Moral Persons With The Fundamental Moral Right Not To Be Treated As The Property Or Resources Of Humans.
