We Do Not Think Clearly

If You Claim To 'love' Animals But You Eat Animal Products, You Need To Think Critically About How You Understand Love.

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.

None Of That Is Necessary. It's Not As If We're In A Situation Where It Is Us Or Them.there's Something Peculiar About Talking About The Moral Status Of Animals, When We Are Killing And Eating Them For No Reason Whatsoever.

The Idea That We Have The Right To Inflict Suffering And Death On Other Sentient Beings For The Trivial Reasons Of Palate Pleasure And Fashion Is, Without Doubt, One Of The Most Arrogant And Morally Repugnant Notions In The History Of Human Thought.

You Don't Have To Love Animals To Recognize That It Is Immoral And Unjust To Exploit Them. But If You Do Love Animals, But You Continue To Participate In Their Exploitation, You Need To Rethink Your Idea Of What Love Means.
