It would be wonderfully dramatic to be able to say: I'm going to fight for animals rather than for language , but it's not that clear cut. Fighting to maintain the integrity of the words humane, love, euthanasia or compassion, is also fighting for animals. And it usually involves exchanges with non-vegans.

" On Atheism and Veganism " created what was for the most part a respectful, interesting discussion that brought up a couple of items I'd like to clarify or explore. First off, I began the post with, "For me, atheism and veganism go hand-in-hand." But in my vegan advocacy that's the perfect place to begin (or end).

While spending hours in the car I've been thinking about various issues related to sentient nonhumans, animal rights and veganism. Trying to program kids to accept the killing of someone they love is cruel. And vegans are accused of imposing our belief systems and brainwashing kids? What kind of lesson is that?

I think this is why I understand the thinking of people who don't want us to use animals but who promote changing the way we use them to decrease their numbers or their suffering. I understand the impulse to do " something " that alters the number of animals created to be used and killed and the suffering of the ones created.

Steiner might feel less lonely as an ethical vegan—he says he has just five vegan friends—if he recognized that he has allies in mere vegetarians (like me), ethical omnivores and even carnivores. If the goal is not moral perfection for ourselves, but the maximum benefit for animals, half-measures ought to be encouraged and appreciated.

And not all organizations that advocate for animals claim to have a "genuine environmentalist ethic," and the ones that do must subscribe to his ethic or they're not genuine? than with any genuine concern for species diversity or even animal welfare." Again, they just want to prevent the "cruel" hunters from killing Bambi's mother.

Two varieties of moral vegetarianism can be distinguished: lactovo moral vegetarianism and vegan moral vegetarianism. Lactovo and vegan moral vegetarianism can be subdivided into what might be called new and old or traditional moral vegetarianism. Would it be morally permissible for you to kill some people and eat them?
