First I have to say that my husband and I were in our courtyard last night, with wine, vegan pizza with shiitakes, portobellos and chanterelles (still working through that five-pound bag of Daiya cheese), and Diana Krall playing. But today's post is about World Vegan Day, so onward. Some go vegetarian first, then vegan.

If any "drastic measures" are employed, they are to remove animals from suffering, not to impose our dietary choices on others. Are we pinning people down and force-feeding them vegan burritos? I prefer "anti-unnecessary slaughter of sentient nonhumans" and it has nothing to do with perceived modernity.

22): PETA is proud to see that its hard work behind the scenes with Bell & Evans and other companies to encourage implementation of this new, less cruel form of slaughter is finally coming to fruition.

The suffering in this world that occurs at the hand of humankind and is entirely intentional, is disgusting and dispiriting. I choose not to watch videos or bombard myself with images of suffering. I don't need to "remind myself" of how bad it is to bolster my commitment to veganism. I know it's out there. Spiritual beliefs?

Like when they're about to be, say, slaughtered? Not to mention the reality that there is so much more involved in being bred for slaughter than pain, and none of that is addressed. That action is to opt out and go vegan. This is where I'm confused.

This is irksome, as the premise is that we need to save the animals (and which ones is an interesting discussion) because we will suffer if they are gone. Corwin tells the story of the Maasai of Kenya, whose culture involved disdain for and slaughter of lions. But again, he's a conservationist, so none of this is a surprise.

There are moral reasons to go vegetarian: recognition that it is wrong to contribute to unnecessary animal suffering the injustice of exploiting animals and killing them for no good reason If human have rights, then many nonhuman animals also have rights, and confining and killing these animals for food violates these rights.
