“Veganism is the simple acknowledgement of our responsibility as moral individuals to minimize the harm we cause by our existence. It simply asks that we re-manifest in ourselves the qualities we have had since we were born and the qualities that are necessary to become citizens of a better future; a future where no one is oppressed, a future where no one is tortured; a future were no one is murdered for sport or pleasure; a future where no being is treated as a mere means to a selfish end … To be vegan is simply to openly & consistently demonstrate one’s awareness of and appreciation for the fundamental principles of Justice. It is an ongoing declaration of the conviction that acts of brutality and oppression are not excusable simply by virtue of the species of their victims … Veganism is nothing less than the evidence of one’s commitment to the sacred principle of nonviolence – the determination to fully eliminate our support for any & all cruelty that is either directly or indirectly carried out on our behalf.” ~ inspired by Angel Flinn
