Well, what about the other equally sentient & equally innocent animals that are actually treated far worse and suffer to a far greater degree? What about the dairy cows that are being repeatedly raped and have their babies repeatedly stolen from them immediately after birth? And what about the piglets that have their teeth cut out of their mouths and their tails cut off their behinds and their testicles cut off their bodies — all without anesthesia? And what about the male chicks that get thrown into the macerator to be ground up alive only hours after hatching? And what abut every single farmed animal that makes its way to your plate — every one of whom lived lives of unjust confinement, and every one of whom was brutally murdered at a very young age? … Aren’t you outraged over their deaths as well? Aren’t you outraged over how much they have to needlessly suffer; about how much cruelty they are forced to endure?

No? … Why not?

“No one ever says, ‘I believe in violence, I think it’s absolutely fine to cause unnecessary harm.’ … No one ever says, ‘I’m not interested in respect or justice.’ … No one ever says, ‘I support torment, violation and needless death.’ … And yet many people are still not vegan — and when we are not vegan, we don’t need to say these things out loud to say them nonetheless. Why? Because every single non-vegan choice we make — every single non-vegan dollar we spend — says these things for us; indeed, shouts these things for us loud and clear at the top of our silent lungs.” ~ unknown
