Vegans who are courageous

Our compassion for animals is right, of course it is, because it’s the logical outcome to the anti-slavery movement. It feels right. Just like veganism, brown rice and having a sense of humour. It’s a healthy position. It can withstand a withdrawal. It’s ridiculous to wage war over a puff of smoke. We don’t need to take on every red neck we meet, or parry every joke or even be intimidated by political corporations. We don’t have to be afraid of any of them because none of them have “the bottle” to take us on in serious debate.
So how is it that some of us are passionate advocates for animals and others are indifferent? How is it that vegans are enlightened and meatheads are so backward? The fact is the differences aren’t really that clear. Vegans are probably not that much brighter or kinder or healthier but we do have more self discipline because we do so much boycotting. We’re more used to questioning and arguing our case and that makes us stronger in our point of view and a little frightening to our opponents.
