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

We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.

Veganism is not a "sacrifice." It is a joy.

Veganism is not a limitation in any way; it's an expansion of your love, your commitment to nonviolence, and your belief in justice for all.

I can't give up that quick My life is a candle and a wick You can put it out, but you can't break it down In the end we are waiting to be lit

But I guess you would look beatific, too, if the man you had been in love with since the fifth grade had told you that he was in love with you, too.
