“No being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another.” - The Schizoid Man
i agree. and though moral grey areas may arise, i believe at least that one sentient being's trivial desire such as taste pleasure, habit or tradition is not more important than another's life and well-being.
(by sentient i mean self-aware with capacity to feel.)
most of us humans have no need to exploit any sentient animal in order to live and thrive, no matter how different from us their appearance or intellect may be.
if we truly claim that causing unnecessary deliberate harm to innocents is wrong, then being vegan is the least we can do.
how do i go vegan? & other questions
#an estimated over trillion sentient beings are killed purposely each year for “food” industries alone#over a trillion. that's more than the total amount of humans who have ever existed. each year. for food “options” alone.#yes in some places humans might not have a choice#but most of us living with internet do have access to beans and bread and vegetables and B12 etc#imagine how even more magnificent vegan food options around the world would be if you contributed to grow that demand#rather than one for harm
