You have a choice.
You have a choice. You decide whether you want to continue to have others kill for you. you decide whether you want to continue consuming death, terror, and heartbreak - whitewashed as humane. You decide. My hope is you’ll decide to go vegan. - Emily Moran Barwick, Vegan Voices.

Veganism has a long history with gender and sexuality, with meat-eating often associated with straight masculinity. In their article "A Queer Vegan Manifesto", Rasmus Rahbek Simonsen explores some of these connections and argues for a veganism that challenges norms.

The promise of becoming vegan is to challenge, or queer, always and everywhere, the normative demands that are placed on our genders, sexualities, and diets. Rasmus Rahbek Simonsen, "A Queer Vegan Manifesto".

"Most vegans think of veganism as a general moral imperative—that humans ought to be vegan as a matter of social justice for animals—yet they frequently individualized their positions when interacting with nonvegans to avoid interpersonal conflict and thereby engage nonvegans."

Until legislation catches up with consumers, we each have the power to end our complicity in the suffering, mutilations, and deaths of increasing numbers of animals each year. With every bite we take, we can choose compassion over killing by choosing the vegetarian option. Miyun Park Opening cages opening eyes

Powerful reminder about what veganism is really about - reducing harm and suffering.
Being vegan is a powerful response to the tragedy of industrial animal agriculture, but it is only the first step. At its core, the compelling concept behind being a vegan is working to end suffering. We must always remem- ber that the bottom line is suffering, not veganism. Matt Ball, living and working in defense of animals

If we feel ourselves emotionally affected by the behavior of an animal, it is a clear indication that we have intuitively discovered a similarity between its behavior and human behavior. We should not conceal this in our description. Konrad Lorenz

While not directly about veganism, this quote is powerful in a world where animal suffering is hidden behind neat packaging of happy animals on green farms, and words like "certified humane".
the strength of a mind might be measured by the amount of "truth" it could endure—or to speak more plainly, by the extent to which it REQUIRED truth attenuated, veiled, sweetened, damped, and falsified. Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil.

What's wrong with the way animals are treated isn't the details that vary from case to case. It's the whole system. -Tom Regan, The Case for Animal Rights

It is just like man’s vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions. Mark Twain, What is Man?

Full quote - "We have devastated the loveliness of the world; we have exterminated several species more beautiful and less vicious than ourselves; we have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt,"

There are many who have not yet grasped what is actually going on, and others, who even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, still believe mankind has an inalienable right to abuse the environment and suppress other life-forms. We ignore such people at our peril. Lawrence Anthony with Graham Spence, Babylon's Ark
