kings gay animal
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.
mean animal men
Humans treat animals as things that exist as means to human ends. That's morally wrong. Sexism promotes the idea that women are things that exist as means to the ends of men. That's morally wrong. We need to stop treating all persons - whether human or nonhuman - as things.
alleged animals benefits health human justify necessity obtain pointing supposed time using
Most of the time, those who use animals in experiments justify that use by pointing to alleged benefits to human and animal health and the supposed necessity of using animals to obtain those benefits.
political serious vegan
Any serious social, political, and economic change must include veganism.
commitment ethical classism
Ethical veganism represents a commitment to nonviolence.
doe inherent ifs
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.
animal abolition-of-slavery needs
We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defence of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.
intelligent people choices
People need to be educated so that they can make intelligent moral choices
fashion animal rockets
It's really not rocket science. If animals are not mere things; if they have moral value, we cannot justify eating, wearing, or using them particularly when we have no better reason than palate pleasure or fashion. If you are eating, wearing, or using animals, then your actions say that you regard them as mere things, despite what your words say.
way killing reason
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.
animal treatment torture
Because animals are property, we consider as "humane treatment" that we would regard as torture if it were inflicted on humans.
animal knowing violence
Being vegan provides us with the peace of knowing that we are no longer participants in the hideous violence that is animal exploitation.
mother glasses pieces
Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.
mean animal ideas
You don't have to love animals to recognize that it is immoral and unjust to exploit them. But if you do love animals, but you continue to participate in their exploitation, you need to rethink your idea of what love means.
