The ultimate cause


647:

In many ways if the food switch-over can be handled, veganism has a lot to offer. It attracts adventurous people who are looking to build a reputation for integrity and who want to become energetic activists.
There are a lot of good causes to get involved with today but none more urgent than the plight of food-animals. The food industry uses and abuses vast numbers of animals in every country of the world, and almost every single human on the planet connives in this abuse of animals. No other crime is committed against so many, so coldly, and no other crime is so hushed up. Animal Rights is largely an unreported issue, because so many are deeply implicated and it’s therefore convenient if people can still plead ignorance of it.
For most people showing any sensitivity to the plight of food animals isn’t seriously considered. It is not discussed, not thought about, not acted upon; animals are there, we farm them, we eat them, end of story.
