Animal rights without veganism is like human rights with slavery. It makes no sense. None whatsoever.
Gary L. FrancioneDomesticated animals such as dogs and cats are vulnerable and entirely dependent on us for all of their needs. They live very unnatural lives because they are not part of the human world and they are not part of the animal world.
Gary L. FrancioneVeganism is not about giving anything up or losing anything; it is about gaining the peace within yourself that comes from embracing nonviolence and refusing to participate in the exploitation of the vulnerable
Gary L. FrancioneWe should take good care of the domestic animals we have brought into existence until they die. We should stop bringing more domestic animals into existence.
Gary L. FrancioneEthical 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
