We Cannot Talk Simultaneously About Animal Rights

Veganism Is Not A "sacrifice." It Is A Joy.

We Cannot Justify Treating Any Sentient Nonhuman As Our Property, As A Resource, As A Thing That We An Use And Kill For Our Purposes.

There Is Increasing Social Concern About Our Use Of Nonhumans For Experiments, Food, Clothing And Entertainment. This Concern About Animals Reflects Both Our Own Moral Development As A Civilization And Our Recognition That The Differences Between Humans And Animals Are, For The Most Part, Differences Of Degree And Not Of Kind.

We Do Not Think Clearly About Our Moral Obligations To Animals.

People Say That Being A Vegan Creates A Social Problem In That Others May React Negatively. But Isnt That The Case If You Take A Principled Position On Any Issue, Whether Its Racism, Sexism, Heterosexism, Violence As A General Matter—or Speciesism? The Key Is To Educate Others About *why* You Take The Position.
