“When we are not vegan we are validated and indeed comforted by the equally callous behaviors of those around us. Despite this, each one of us is capable of great change — and many do change, once they open their eyes to the simple fact that their choices as nonvegans are in complete conflict with their perception of themselves as decent, caring people who love animals and despise needless violence.

 

As such, veganism is the only decisively effective way to end our own participation in the nightmare of torment and gore being inflicted upon the innocent — the rampant injustice of animal cruelty that our society still lauds as ‘normal’. Only veganism recognizes the right of each & every sentient individual to their life, their body, and their identity.

 

Every nonvegan choice harms someone deeply, my Friends. And yet we can all choose differently — we can all choose to stop causing needless suffering. And making this all-important choice — choosing to stop harming innocent animals — can mean only one thing: becoming Vegan. You can make this choice today — you can make this choice right now — You can choose in this very moment to start living a life based in Justice & Compassion … There is nothing stopping you from doing so. So why wait?”
