Cath and I buy locally-raised chickens, some of them raised by fellow ex-vegetarians. We don’t buy meat from who-knows-where. ~ Tovar Cerulli (January 1, 2010)

Veganism isn't about maintaining a state of absolute purity
[V]eganism isn’t about maintaining a state of absolute purity. It’s about making informed choices to refrain from using animal products so that you remove yourself as much as it is possible from the cycle that perpetuates a demand for the continued exploitation of non-human animals—and by “possible” I really, really don’t mean “convenient”. ~ Mylène …

As an activist, I know change is coming
As a vegan, I understand the need for humans to understand the value of non-human life. I understand the utmost importance to end speciesism, as it is the key to ending violence and oppression. As a gay vegan, I understand that without making strides to understand our own fellow human, and the broad spectrum of …
We kill them without stress
When you grab a chicken, turn it upside down and put it on the line, it’s stress, stress, stress. Our system is designed so that we put them to sleep without stress and we kill them without stress. ~ Scott Sechler (October 21, 2010)
Human imperialism has everywhere enslaved, oppressed, murdered and mutilated the animal peoples

Patient, relentless, and persistent abolitionist vegan education
Patient, relentless, and persistent abolitionist vegan education over years and decades by tireless abolitionist vegan advocates is the only thing that will erode and eventually end the disease and dogmatic cultural prejudice of speciesism and its symptom, the use and exploitation of animals. ~ Dan Cudahy (October 19, 2010)

To think of domestication as a form of enslavement or even exploitation is to misconstrue the whole relationship, to project a human idea of power onto what is, in fact, an instance of mutualism between species. Domestication is an evolutionary, rather than a political, development. It is certainly not a regime humans imposed on animals …

What animals deserve: the total abolition of their use
Campaigning for more room for animals in farms, for anaesthetics to be used in labs, for adequate stunning on the killing line and the like won’t do anything but to guarantee that animals continue to be killed and exploited for the foreseeable future. We’re facing a long struggle before we see an end to animal …
