For most of us humans, we live in a time of peace. And yet what we consider to be “peacetime” is, for many other species, an ongoing time of war — a war as brutal as any ever fought by humans; a war as vile & violent as any of the conflicts our relatives at home or our cousins in others lands might have suffered or are still suffering.

And oddly enough, this war has been declared by the “peacemakers” — this war has been declared by YOU … Yes, you who are eating meat or drinking milk in a time of peace; you are supporting a war just as unjust & just as savage as any battle that has ever defiled the face of our planet.

Some have asked me why I side with the animals on this issue — why I reject the “rights” of humans to eat whatever they want, and staunchly defend the Rights of those they eat instead … And yet I think the more appropriate question is why are they — why are YOU — actively supporting “concentration camps” that imprison billions of sentient beings every day who have committed no crime? Why are YOU actively supporting the slaughterhouse workers who murder billions of sentient beings every week merely to satisfy a primal pleasure of palate? Why are YOU actively supporting the ones who confine & rape & abuse & ultimately murder those innocent many?

Maybe because many of you only know the price of the dead flesh you eat, and have forgotten the priceless worth of the lives cruelly taken thereby.

Refusing to be evil means refusing to support tyranny in any form.
Refusing to be cruel means refusing to support those engaged in cruelty.
Refusing to be a killer means refusing to support those who murder.

Please consider going vegan today … Thank you.
