The ultimate cause

935: 

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.
In our world today, there are a lot of good causes to get involved with, 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 goes along with this abuse. No other crime is so coldly committed against so many. And no other crime is so hushed up. Animal Rights goes largely unreported, because so many are deeply implicated in the abuse; it’s convenient if people can still plead ignorance. It’s why everything is so hushed up.
For most people showing any sensitivity to the plight of food animals isn’t seriously considered. It’s not discussed, not thought about, not acted upon; we have the animals in captivity, we farm them, we eat them, end of story.
