1786:
We
live in a country, indeed on a planet, where almost every human is using and
therefore condoning the abuse of farmed animals. These animals are imprisoned
on farms and denied any semblance of natural life. They live in squalor and die
in terror. Until the consumer stops buying meat and eggs and dairy products and
all the foods and commodities which make use of animals’ bodies, the cruelty
will continue. It’s up to the individual
consumer to stop consuming it all, and only then will products be free
of cruelty.
The
vegan animal activist, in order to live according to his or her own principles,
has to adopt a philosophy of not-touching-animals. I mean by that, not using
them, not condoning the imprisonment or killing of them, and of course not
eating them.
Almost
everybody is involved in the exploitation of animals. Those who aren’t
(‘vegans’) have made an agreement with themselves to keep their food and
clothing plant-based and animal-free. In this way we show how life is possible
without using animals for anything.
