More quotes by Gary L. Francione
We cannot talk simultaneously about animal rights and the 'humane' slaughter of animals.
Gary L. Francione
Veganism is about nonviolence: nonviolence to other sentient beings nonviolence to yourself nonviolence to the earth.
Gary L. Francione
An aim of an argument should be progress, but progress ultimately means little without victory.
Gary L. Francione
Who I've been is not as important as who I'm becoming.
Gary L. Francione
If an animal has any rights at all, it's got the right not to be eaten.
Gary L. Francione
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.
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
Veganism must be the baseline if we are to have any hope of shifting the paradigm away from animals as things and toward animals as nonhuman persons.
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
They are nonhuman persons. They are not food. If animals matter morally at all, there is one and only one rational response: go vegan. Everything else is just participation in animal exploitation.
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
Any serious social, political, and economic change must include veganism.
Gary L. Francione
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
If you claim to 'love' animals but you eat animal products, you need to think critically about how you understand love.
Gary L. Francione
People need to be educated so that they can make intelligent moral choices
Gary L. Francione
Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.
Gary L. Francione
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.
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
Veganism is not a sacrifice. It is a joy.
Gary L. Francione
...eating animals involves an intentional decision to participate in the suffering and death of nonhumans where there is no plausible moral justification.
