Veganism Is Not A "sacrifice." It Is

If You Think That Being Vegan Is Difficult, Imagine How Difficult It Is For Animals That You Are Not Vegan.

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.

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.

Veganism Is An Act Of Nonviolent Defiance. It Is Our Statement That We Reject The Notion That Animals Are Things And That We Regard Sentient Nonhumans As Moral Persons With The Fundamental Moral Right Not To Be Treated As The Property Or Resources Of Humans.

Being Vegan Is Easy. Are There Social Pressures That Encourage You To Continue To Eat, Wear, And Use Animal Products? Of Course There Are. But In A Patriarchal, Racist, Homophobic, And Ableist Society, There Are Social Pressures To Participate And Engage In Sexism, Racism, Homophobia, And Ableism. At Some Point, You Have To Decide Who You Are And What Matters Morally To You. And Once You Decide That You Regard Victimizing Vulnerable Nonhumans Is Not Morally Acceptable, It Is Easy To Go And Stay Vegan
