You can have my meat when you pry it out of my dead cold hands. I will never go back to veganism. I will never give up the exquisite pleasures of eating animal flesh. ~ Bob Zavadowski (September 22, 2010)

The World is Vegan, if you want it. It's not a slogan, it's a plan.
Did you know that the world’s current population of human beings is about 6.7 Billion? That’s a lot of people! If only 1% of them are vegan, that means that there are 67 Million vegans walking the earth right now. That’s a lot of people too! So here’s the deal. Every vegan has one year […]
I drive by the same fields and see slaves, one day to be murdered
Some people see cows with their calves in country fields and see beauty. I drive by the same fields and see slaves, one day to be murdered. Go vegan. ~ Trisha Roberts (September 19, 2010)
Everyone who consumes animals is, I am afraid, in the same boat as it were
Everyone who consumes animals is, I am afraid, in the same boat as it were. There is no special boat designated only for Muslims or Jews.

Hobbles and shackles are commonly attached to the hind legs of cows that have suffered damage during “calving”, and would not be able to stand of their own accord. Injured cows are often forced to continue in pain, for 7-8 months, until their milk yield drops (so the farmer won’t lose a large quantity of […]
Anyone who is vegan needs to make sure they have confronted their own speciesism
Anyone who is vegan needs to make sure they have confronted their own speciesism—I have to do it all the time because for more than 30 years I was totally speciesist, and I have to be vigilant about it, and I also call others on it too. It’s all part of the unapologetic honesty that […]
For both moral and practical reasons, captive-breeding is unjust
Captive-breeding doesn’t work to preserve species as the captives are generally never freed to live in suitable habitat. The best we can do to stop extinction is to protect other animals’ habitats and let them be. Further, it’s fundamentally wrong to violate an individuals right to liberty for the sake of supposedly preserving their species. […]
Being vegan is far different than just eating like one
