Being vegan because you want to live as nonviolently as possible and you don't want to contribute to violence and you don't want to respond to violence with violence is admirable to some, though refusing to support the defense of sentient nonhumans when you probably would if they were humans bothers me. Or vegan pumpkin pie.

There is a general consensus that vegetarianism and veganism are different philosophically. Hence the psychological continuum described (below) by Austria's Association Against Animal Factories from about a year ago. Hence, what we need from this point onwards is psychology and not philosophy. How about this? What do you think?

I do not believe that our war can be won by vegan education alone and that some day, the oppressors of humans, nonhuman animals and the planet are going to see the error of their ways and transition to a nonviolent, non-exploiting way of life. And both discussions often degenerate into all kinds of name-calling and ignoring of the issues.
