Veganism is an act of nonviolent defiance. It is our statement that we reject the notion that animals are things and that we regard sentient nonhumans as moral persons with the fundamental moral right not to be treated as the property or resources of humans.

We should never present flesh as somehow morally distinguishable from dairy. To the extent it is morally wrong to eat flesh, it is as morally wrong - and possibly more morally wrong - to consume dairy

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

To say that a being who is sentient has no interest in continuing to live is like saying that a being with eyes has no interest in continuing to see. Death—however “humane”—is a harm for humans and nonhumans alike.

Ethical veganism represents a commitment to nonviolence.

I maintain that we ought to abolish the institution and stop causing or facilitating the existence of more 'companion' animals.

If you love animals but think that veganism is extreme, then you are confused about the meaning of love.
