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

If an animal has any rights at all, it's got the right not to be eaten.
Gary L. Francione
Image
We cannot talk simultaneously about animal rights and the 'humane' slaughter of animals.
Gary L. Francione
Image
...eating animals involves an intentional decision to participate in the suffering and death of nonhumans where there is no plausible moral justification.
Gary L. Francione
Image
Veganism is not a limitation in any way it's an expansion of your love, your commitment to nonviolence, and your belief in justice for all.

All sentient beings should have at least one right—the right not to be treated as property

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.

Forty-two years after Dr. King was murdered, we are still a nation of inequality. People of color, women, gays, lesbians, and others are still treated as second-class citizens. Yes, things have changed but we have still not achieved equality among all humans. And nonhuman animals continue to be chattel property without any inherent value.

We should stop bringing more domestic animals into existence.
Gary L. Francione
Image
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.

People need to be educated so that they can make intelligent moral choices
Gary L. Francione
Image
The proposition that humans have mental characteristics wholly absent in non-humans is inconsistent with the theory of evolution.
Gary L. Francione
Image
Any serious social, political, and economic change must include veganism.
Gary L. Francione
Image
An aim of an argument should be progress, but progress ultimately means little without victory.

Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.

Michael Vick may enjoy watching dogs fight. Someone else may find that repulsive but see nothing wrong with eating an animal who has had a life as full of pain and suffering as the lives of the fighting dogs. It's strange that we regard the latter as morally different from, and superior to, the former.

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.

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.

To say that a being who is sentient has no interest in continuing to live is like saying that a being with eyes has no interest in continuing to see. Death—however “humane”—is a harm for humans and nonhumans alike.

You cannot live a nonviolent life as long as you are consuming violence. Please consider going vegan.
