What could be the basis of our having more inherent value than animals? Their lack of reason, or autonomy, or intellect? Only if we are willing to make the same judgment in the case of humans who are similarly deficient.

All great movements, it is written, go through three stages: ridicule, discussion, adoption. It is the realisation of this third stage, adoption, that requires our passion and our discipline, our hearts and our heads. The fate of animals is in our hands.

I would encourage them never to forget that they were not always vegans. The self-righteousness of the recently converted hurts, it does not help, other animals.

When I say a vegan diet can be "the healthiest dietary option we can live by," I mean an informed vegan diet.

Live your life in ways that do not support wars, whosoever are the victims.

There is no question in my mind: reading Gandhi's autobiography changed my life.

In a perfect world, we would not keep animals for our benefit, including pets.
