A mean kind of Kindness … (07/31/16)

“I hear so many complaints about vegans being negative & abusive & judgmental and yet I can’t think of one thing more negative & offensive & judgmental than animal cruelty. Billions of gentle, innocent, sentient beings are being treated in the most unjust, the most hideous, and the most atrocious ways every second of every day and all vegans are trying to do is to spread awareness of that fact. Vegans are simply being a voice for the animals because the animals voices (and their wailings — and their gasps — and their screams) are going unheard. And yet flesh eaters & dairy drinkers whine & rail and call this bullying. Well I for one will always fight for the defenseless animals. They are being tortured & they are being murdered and they have no choice in the matter. And the most terrible thing about it isn’t the raw hypocrisy of it all; it’s that it is all completely unnecessary. There are cruelty-free options for everything these days, and yet instead of people making a little effort to alter their self-pleasuring habits, they are still choosing to support grief, pain, suffering, and murder. Calling out this tragedy isn’t negative and it isn’t abusive and it isn’t judgmental — It’s a call to Compassion and a demand for JUSTICE.” ~ inspired by Annie Mags
