On becoming a real Animal Lover … (04/12/17)
When folks hear that I’m vegan and say “Boy, you sure do love animals a lot”, I always pause and wonder — Do I have to love other humans to avoid enslaving them or killing them or punching them in the face? Of course not! … I mean, I DO love animals, no doubt about it, and yet my love for animals is NOT why I am vegan. Going vegan doesn’t mean that we have a love for animals; all going vegan means is that we choose to enliven our fundamental sense of moral decency.
