There 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.

Veganism must be the baseline if we are to have any hope of shifting the paradigm away from animals as things and toward animals as nonhuman persons.

We should stop bringing more domestic animals into existence.

Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.

We do not think clearly about our moral obligations to animals.

...eating animals involves an intentional decision to participate in the suffering and death of nonhumans where there is no plausible moral justification.

The theory of animal rights simply is not consistent with the theory of animal welfare... Animal rights means dramatic social changes for humans and non-humans alike; if our bourgeois values prevent us from accepting those changes, then we have no right to call ourselves advocates of animal rights.
