All violence, all injustice, all oppression is interlinked. How we treat nonhuman animals sets the lower boundary for how we treat each other. The more cruelly we treat non-humans, the more terrible a weapon dehumanization is.

In all your empty justifications, rationalisations, and excuses for inflicting gratuitous cruelty upon me, for stealing my only life, the only perspective that you conveniently & cowardly omit, is the only one of any significance whatsoever, mine.

If to be normal is to participate in eternal violence towards those who just happen to have not been born human, which is to abandon ethics & morality itself, which is to abandon our humanity, then there exists an urgent moral imperative to create a new normal.

There’s no amount of tastiness, tradition, or convenience of any dairy product that overrides the moral implications behind its availability to you.
Your choice to purchase and consume it only proves your callousness in perpetuating this needlessly cruel and wasteful industry.

It’s extremely revealing & disturbing that you humans can be manipulated to the point where you believe that separating us newborn infants from our mothers & denying us of our mother’s love, protection & sustenance is in any way acceptable.

The most cruel thing that we can do to ourselves is to be cruel and violent to innocent creatures who are much weaker than us.

Assigning moral value based on species alone is exactly the bankrupt logic used to justify every form of bigotry and oppression. Be better for everyone's sake.

Speciesism is the set of ideas that excuse discriminating against nonhuman animals solely because they aren’t human & hence inferior & undeserving of moral consideration. Ethics & science have extensively shown there’s no objective grounding for such a stance.

Each sentient animal is a unique individual with a conscious, subjective existence & the capacity to suffer. Each therefore is a subject of justice deserving of full moral consideration & hence the bearer of inviolable rights. Each has a legitimate right to life & bodily autonomy.

When did you last think about your worldview?
Most people rarely think about their worldview.
That’s fine if it’s a good worldview.
But it’s dangerous if it’s a bad one.

It's 2025 & prominent environmental thinkers are still talking as though fossil fuels are the only problem & humans are the only victims.
The catastrophic impacts of animal agriculture don't get a mention. Nor do the obvious solutions of plant-based agriculture & the resulting land use change.

I was in my late 40s when I learned how the dairy industry works. I am still ashamed & embarrassed that up until that point I had missed the now obvious truth of why cows produce milk. They are mothers, and that milk is intended for their babies and their babies alone 😞

You didn’t know about him, did you?

This. People really need to stop reducing the deep moral conviction and commitment to justice behind veganism to 'just a diet'.
Reminder: Veganism is an all inclusive social justice movement, not a diet ⚖️💚
I wish more people understood that veganism is not a perfectionism movement, nor a diet; it is about doing what is possible and practicable in our individual circumstances to lessen our impact on animals, and by extension other humans & the planet ⚖️
