2013 … Finally facing the Facts
And so it was roughly one year later that I finally learned the truth about the fundamental workings of the egg & dairy industries – standard practices as vile as they are violent – and I directly became a wholehearted Vegan as a result …
“Being kind to animals is not enough. Avoiding cruelty towards them is not enough. Housing animals in more comfortable, larger cages is not enough. Whether we exploit animals to eat, or to wear, or to entertain us, or even to learn or educate others, the truth of animal rights requires empty cages, not larger ones. Indeed, it is not larger, cleaner cages that justice demands, but rather cages that are completely empty; not a more traditional animal agriculture but rather a complete end to all commerce in the murdered flesh & stolen secretions of dead animals; not more humane hunting and trapping, but rather the total eradication of these utterly barbarous practices … Indeed, it is not an act of kindness to treat animals respectfully. It is an act of justice.” ~ Tom Regan
