You just need a basic understanding and a will to change for the better

Being a vegan means we break from a violent enculturation which leads us to believe animals, who are biologically no different from humans, are here for our use—that their existence is meant for our pleasure and their welfare is limited by our mandate to use them for our means. You don’t have to be crazy about animals or concerned about your health to go vegan, you just need a basic understanding and a will to change for the better. Go vegan.
