Ethical veganism represents a commitment to nonviolence.
Gary L. Francione
Image
We are vegans not simply because being vegan will reduce suffering. We are vegan because every sentient being values her or his life even if no one else does. We are vegan because justice minimally requires that we not take life for trivial purposes.

If you claim to 'love' animals but you eat animal products, you need to think critically about how you understand love.
Gary L. Francione

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.

If an animal has any rights at all, it's got the right not to be eaten.

We eat animals because they taste good. And if that's O.K., what's wrong with wearing fur? We need as a society to think seriously about our institutionalized animal use.
Gary L. Francione
Image
We should stop bringing more domestic animals into existence.
Gary L. Francione
Image
Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.
Gary L. Francione
Image
Veganism is not a sacrifice. It is a joy.
Gary L. Francione
Image
We should take good care of the domestic animals we have brought into existence until they die. We should stop bringing more domestic animals into existence.

Who I've been is not as important as who I'm becoming.

Image
People need to be educated so that they can make intelligent moral choices
Gary L. Francione
Image
But if there were two dogs left in the universe and it were up to us as to whether they were allowed to breed so that we could continue to live with dogs, and even if we could guarantee that all dogs would have homes as loving as the one that we provide, we would not hesitate for a second to bring the whole institution of 'pet' ownership to an end.

Speciesism is morally objectionable because, like racism, sexism, and heterosexism, it links personhood with an irrelevant criterion. Those who reject speciesism are committed to rejecting racism, sexism, heterosexism, and other forms of discrimination as well.
