More quotes by Gary L. Francione
Ethical veganism represents a commitment to nonviolence.
Gary L. Francione

Gary L. Francione
If an animal has any rights at all, it's got the right not to be eaten.
Gary L. Francione
It costs us so little to go vegan. It costs animals so much if we don't.

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.
Gary L. Francione
Any serious social, political, and economic change must include veganism.
Gary L. Francione
An aim of an argument should be progress, but progress ultimately means little without victory.

Gary L. Francione
Every sentient being values her/his life even if no one else does. That is what is meant by saying that the lives of all have inherent value.
Gary L. Francione
Being vegan is not a matter of lifestyle. It is a matter of fundamental moral obligation. Is being vegan a matter of choice? Only insofar as we are able to choose to ignore our moral obligations not to exploit the vulnerable.
Gary L. Francione
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.
Gary L. Francione

Gary L. Francione
If you claim to 'love' animals but you eat animal products, you need to think critically about how you understand love.
Gary L. Francione
We should never present flesh as somehow morally distinguishable from dairy. To the extent it is morally wrong to eat flesh, it is as morally wrong - and possibly more morally wrong - to consume dairy
Gary L. Francione
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.
Gary L. Francione
Who I've been is not as important as who I'm becoming.
Gary L. Francione
If you are not vegan, please consider going vegan. It’s a matter of nonviolence. Being vegan is your statement that you reject violence to other sentient beings, to yourself, and to the environment, on which all sentient beings depend.
Gary L. Francione
There is no moral distinction between fur and other materials made from animals, such as leather, which also is the result of the suffering and death of sentient beings.
Gary L. Francione
Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.
