Our primary act of ‘consistency’ is in our own vegan-living,
obviously. You can’t be much use to animals if you still ingest them! But the
next consistency is in taking on the world, over this one thing – not-using-animals. Being highly consistent in this,
vegans are in a very good position to take on and outwit ‘the exploiters’.
Outwitting them should be easy
enough since omnivores find it hard to justify animal abuse. But we have a
reputation to overcome, that of taking ourselves too seriously and being needy
for approval. Obviously, waiting for recognition from omnivores is a big waste
of time.
But assuming a vegan does hold
respect for people no matter who they are. That doesn’t disempower us – we can
still tease them mercilessly with the minimum of harm being done. It’s actually
fun advocating the animals’ case, if only by seeing the bewildered looks on
people’s faces when we spell out the simple reasons that give ‘vegan’ sense.
