Ethical veganism results in a profound revolution within the individual; a complete rejection of the paradigm of oppression and violence that she has been taught from childhood to accept as the natural order. It changes her life and the lives of those with whom she shares this vision of nonviolence. Ethical veganism is anything but passive; on the contrary, it is the active refusal to cooperate with injustice

Gary L. FrancioneYou cannot live a nonviolent life as long as you are consuming violence. Please consider going vegan.
Gary L. FrancioneAnimal rights without veganism is like human rights with slavery. It makes no sense. None whatsoever.
Gary L. FrancioneThere is increasing social concern about our use of nonhumans for experiments, food, clothing and entertainment. This concern about animals reflects both our own moral development as a civilization and our recognition that the differences between humans and animals are, for the most part, differences of degree and not of kind.
