Poles apart (from a vegan view)

1322: 

For vegans, we are tormented by thinking about the horror of animal life on the farm.  ‘Our subject’ is unlike any other subject.  It isn’t a hobby.  We can’t be casual about.  For us it’s a matter of righting perhaps the most terrible wrong ever known to our society – the enslavement and brutal killing of innocent beings. This massacre is carried out daily on a massive scale.  It’s not something we can ‘agree to disagree’ about.

         

If we are ‘abolitionists’, who think no animals should ever be used, we come across as being unbelievably radical and confronting.  But, to us, the changes we’re proposing are essential.  However, we only need to hold that view, not necessarily force it down peoples’ throats every time we talk to them, or every time animals are mentioned.
